The Public Order Emergency Commission heard from cabinet ministers this week. Matt Galloway discusses their testimony with Toronto Star reporter Tonda MacCharles; Richard Fadden, the former director of CSIS and former national security advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau; and Cara Zwibel, who is representing the Canadian Civil Liberties Association at the inquiry.
Then, dozens of men say they were abused as students at two Vancouver private schools. In a proposed class action lawsuit, they link their case to another on the other side of Canada: the abuses at Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John’s, N.L.

Bangladeshi climate scientist Saleemul Huq reflects on what the fund could mean — and what the responsibility of countries like Canada is to nations like his.
