Miller cut him off and said, “Sir, we’ve filed two motions in writing at your direction that you’ve refused to rule on with respect to the redaction of documents from the Government of Canada…” Miller said the cabinet confidence claims the government is using to justify its decision don’t make sense. “Canadians are entitled to the truth, and you can’t hide behind unlawful redactions in a public inquiry, claiming baseless redactions on staffer correspondence, because it may hurt you.”

Miller has previously argued with other witnesses that the government was attempting to paint the convoy protesters at extremists to justify invoking the Emergencies Act.“It’s up to the commissioner whether or not he’ll abide by my client’s constitutional right to have the lawyer of their choice.”Article content

More secrets and lies from this corrupt government

Just what he wanted. Attention Seekers.

Ironically the losers he represent were also asked to leave…. Imagine the money and drama that could have been saved if they would have complied

Withholding legal documents to protect Goverment 🤔 Curious as too how much they've withheld over these years. We've already seen them back date legal documents to benifit them. Oh and all the lies.

Welp, as the Klownvoy case goes doen the shitter, we didn't need an inquiry to tell us that the Klownvoy was for braindead people anyways.

And that's supposed to be a lawyer? Sheesh 🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't like government anything, I'm Indigenous, but for reals...I don't like the Freedom Convoy just as much. They don't speak for what our children went through in those schools with grave yards, they don't get to add 💩 in to...

the whole narrative of 'everything i agree with is correct and facts and has proof, everything i disagree with is rigged and lies and systems of treachery' = tiresome. Get some new talking points instead of screaming the same old same old.

Are you reporting the news or the government’s communication talking points?

What a joke. I can understand his frustration. Illegally redacted documents, scummy Judge Rollough making allowances only for gov’ witnesses. This is rigged.
