Members of first-ever Emergencies Act review committee get down to work, split on Trudeau’s invocation of order as work on witness list begins

Throughout most of February, trucks of all sizes and cars blockaded Wellington Street outside of Parliament and the Prime Minister’s Office, in what became a massive and costly disruption of life for downtown residents and businesses. A special parliamentary committee, composed of both MPs and Senators, has been established to get to the bottom of what transpired.

From top left, Senators Gwen Boniface, Bloc Québécois MP Rhéal Fortin, NDP MP Matthew Green, Senator Claude Carignan, and Liberal MP Arif Virani. From bottom left, Conservative MP Glen Motz, Senators Peter Harder and Vernon White, Liberal MP Rachel Bendayan, Conservative MP Larry Brock, and Liberal MP Yasir Naqvi. These MPs and Senators comprise the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency, and will be looking directly into the events that transpired throughout most of February 2022 in the weeks and months to come.
