Episode Synopsis

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and top PMO officials faced questions today at the Public Order Emergency Commission. Michael Serapio recaps the key exchanges and revelations with journalists Christopher Nardi (National Post) and Joanna Smith (The Canadian Press).

Has the federal government's use of solicitor-client privilege on invoking the Emergencies Act hampered the ability of Commissioner Paul Rouleau to reach a proper conclusion? We hear from lawyer Ewa Krajewska, who is representing the Canadian Civil Liberties Association at the inquiry.

And Sarah Miller of the Canadian Climate Institute offers reaction to the government's new climate adaptation strategy.
