The criminal trial for two leaders of what became the Freedom Convoy continues to move at a glacial pace, with another delay coming Tuesday morning.

Chris Barber arrives for his trial at the Ottawa Courthouse on Sept. 11, 2023.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are charged with mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police for their role in the weeks-long protest in February 2022. But his testimony had barely started when proceedings were stopped because he had not brought any notes. "This was a surprise to me, as I said in court, that he showed up without his notes," Greenspon told reporters outside the courthouse. "His evidence is important."
