Keith Wilson, the lawyer for the “Freedom Convoy” leaders seeking the funds, said in his notice of motion that the money was urgently needed. The Public Order Commission is scheduled to begin Sept. 19 and the commission has mandated the participation of several of the prominent “Freedom Convoy” leaders.
“They can provide a vantage point that goes beyond an individual Convoy participant or observer and encompasses the organization and leadership of the Convoy,” he wrote in ain June. “Their contributions to the work of the commission are necessary as they are uniquely situated to offer information to the commission and give first-hand evidence as to the goals and organization of the convoy.”
The notice of motion also says that JCCF’s funding has decreased “as a result of the end of public measures resulting from the pandemic.”
