Premier Doug Ford and former Solicitor General Sylvia Jones argue the summons should be quashed due to parliamentary privilege.
Lawyers for Premier Doug Ford and former solicitor general Sylvia Jones will appear in Federal Court today in an effort to get them out of testifying at the Emergencies Act inquiry.
They were summoned to testify last week.
The pair argue that they cannot testify due to parliamentary privilege, which provides immunity to sitting politicians.
The commission is examining the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act in response to "Freedom" Convoy" protests in Ottawa and Windsor earlier this year.
The commission wants to hear from Ford and Jones about their response to the demonstrations.
