The presiding judge and the Crown attorney exchanged pointed remarks on the first day of the hearing to review bail conditions.

Lich appeared by videolink from her Alberta home for the first day of the two-day session. She told court she was “honoured” to be named this year’s recipient of an award from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a legal advocacy group and vocal supporter of the “Freedom Convoy” during the three-week occupation of downtown Ottawa streets.

Assistant Crown Attorney Moiz Karimjee filed an application this week arguing Lich should be returned to jail on the grounds that she “has continued her support of the convoy cause” by agreeing to accept the award, which is to be presented in Toronto at a June 16 gala featuring keynote speaker Rex Murphy.Lich and fellow protest organizer Chris Barber are jointly charged with mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation.

Lich was pressed by Karimjee on her pending acceptance of the award equating to her continued support for “Freedom Convoy” causes. Greenspon said the condition was overly broad and restrictive and amounted to an outright “banishment.” The temperature elevated slightly when Karimjee took exception to a line of questioning from Greenspon that, Karimjee said, “challenges the integrity of this Crown.”

The prosecutor took exception again when Phillips denied his request to file as an exhibit a March 28 email from the JCCF awards committee notifying Lich she would be the recipient of a “freedom award.”
