The National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) is a Canadian evidence-gathering initiative examining the institutional response to the declared COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. It is a continuation of previous citizen-led hearings including A Citizens' Hearing and Reclaiming our Voice – A Conversation in Ottawa.[1]
The NCI was initially administered by Citizens Inquiry Canada (CIC), a non-profit organization set up for this purpose.[2] As of January 2024, the NCI operates as a registered non-profit corporation called National Citizens Inquiry / Enquete nationale aupres des citoyens.[3]
History
Live hearings were held across Canada between March and May 2023.[4]
The NCI published the final report of the commissioners on November 28, 2023, titled Inquiry into the Appropriateness and Efficacy of the COVID-19 Response in Canada.[5]
In January 2024, a group of individuals associated with the NCI publicly rejected the authority of CIC and formed a new non-profit corporation called National Citizens Inquiry.[6][3:1] CIC issued a statement on April 4, 2024, addressing the controversy and explaining its side of the story.[7]
Organization
The NCI's website is designed and maintained by DCG Vision Marketing & Sales.[4:1]
