An independent public inquiry has now been launched into the Canadian federal government invoking the Emergencies Act in February to stop the protests and blockades at border crossings and in Ottawa.

The inquiry will be given powers to summon witnesses under oath, and force them to provide necessary documents.

It will examine circumstances that led to the convoy protests, which gridlocked downtown Ottawa for weeks and choked off traffic at Canada-U-S border crossings.

Ross Lord explains who will oversee this inquiry, the key questions that will be explored, and the concerns about how much the government will cooperate.
