Key convoy organizers including Tamara Lich, Tom Marazzo, Chris Barber and Daniel Bulford have been granted full standing. Rouleau wrote of the organizers “Their contributions to the work of the commission are necessary, as they are uniquely situated to offer information to the commission and give firsthand evidence as to the goals and organization of the convoy.”

The Ottawa Police Service has been granted full standing, while its former chief Peter Sloly will be allowed to produce documents and examine witnesses. The cities of Ottawa and Windsor have also been granted standing.

Although only the Liberal federal government has been granted standing, Rouleau said “There is also an important role for an independent non-partisan process. Both ought to operate independently from one another.”
