Everything you need to know about the convoy inquiry

In today’s Big Story podcast, a week into an inquiry looking into the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’ demonstrations in Ottawa, and we’ve already heard several stunning revelations about what authorities did — or didn’t do — in the days leading up to occupation. With more than a month remaining in the hearings, it’s clear there’s a whole lot more to come.

Cormac Mac Sweeney has spent the last week covering the hearings for CityNews. He joins us to outline the purpose and scope of the inquiry, and share some of the more interesting pieces of information that have been revealed thus far.

“Maybe they don’t have as much cover [as] they normally would if we didn’t have access to all the text messages, emails, teams chats,” he said, “so it’s not going to be easy for officials to gloss over certain things.”

So what do you need to know about how this works? Who are we still waiting to hear testify? And what, if anything, will come of this whole process?
