The NCI is asking the Question: Are Children Safe in Canada?

We have completed our most recent hearings in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Thank you to the Commissioners, Witnesses, all the volunteers and donors for making an extremely successful hearings event in Vancouver, British Columbia!  Now it is your turn, Canada! Follow us on our social media, sign-up for our newsletter, donate if you can to help cover the cost of the hearings, and share the NCI Commissioners Report and witness testimonies as much as you can.

The NCI is a citizen-led and citizen-funded organization, created by Canadians for all of Canada to use to help make our country one that inspires us all.

The National Citizens Inquiry is a citizen-led and citizen-funded effort to examine Canada’s response to COVID-19, among other important topics.

The NCI’s purpose is to listen, to learn, and to recommend. What went right? What went wrong? How can Canadians and our governments react to national crises in the future in a manner that balances the interests, needs and rights of all members of our society?

The NCI is volunteer run and completely independent of government.

WHY AN INQUIRY?

During the pandemic, governments at all levels made decisions that affected the lives of almost every Canadian. The impacts of these decisions were unprecedented. They affected our lives, families, businesses, and communities, in significant and long-lasting ways. They affected our physical and mental health, civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, jobs and livelihoods, and overall social and economic well-being.

Could COVID-19 have been handled differently? Many Canadians believe so, and many believe these circumstances demand a comprehensive, transparent, objective and independent inquiry into how governments responded over the past four years.

For this reason, a group of concerned citizens formed the National Citizens Inquiry—to ask hard questions, hear from those affected, and learn how to do better in future.

The National Citizens Inquiry has now realized that Canadians need to ask more questions into other areas of interest. What is going right in our society and what is going wrong. The NCI is here to LISTEN. LEARN AND RECOMMEND on a variety of subjects that Canadians want to know about. That is our focus – The Questions that Canadians want to have asked.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?

In 2023, the NCI held 24 days of hearings in eight cities from Truro to Vancouver to learn how all levels of government responded to covid. Over 300 witnesses testified under oath. On November 28, 2023, the NCI released the Commissioners’ final report. The Commissioners’ findings and positive recommendations have shaken the nation.

In 2024 Canadians told us we were not finished. We responded with Hearings in Regina with new information on Covid. The evidence was shocking.
In October 2024 the National Citizens Inquiry broke new ground by holding hearings in Vancouver on the topic: Are Children Safe in Canada? Those who watched are still in shock. The evidence was unexpected and troubling. These hearings are a “much watch”. But be warned, you will never be the same again.
The NCI now has heard from over 365 witnesses all sworn under oath. We have the largest and most credible collection of evidence on the covid event in the world. Our first set of Hearings on Child Safety have shocked and troubled all who have watched. The NCI is once again giving Canadians a voice on forbidden topics.

The Commissioner Reports for Regina and Vancouver are due to be released in the later part of this year and early into 2025. More Hearings have already been scheduled for March 2025 on the topic of Child safety.

The mainstream media has been raising the issue of a federal government inquiry into covid. If that happens the NCI will likely have to hold concurrent hearings to ensure Canadians continue to hear the truth in an unbiased citizen led inquiry. Stay tuned!

Citizen Supported– The authority of the Inquiry must rest on a mandate received from significant numbers of Canadian citizens across the country who have made repeated calls for an independent and objective review of governments’ pandemic measures. This mandate is to be further reinforced by such citizens adding their names to the Petition of Support for a National Citizens Inquiry provided on the Inquiry’s website – ca.
