WATCH: Full testimony by GraceLife Church's Pastor James Coates to the National Citizens Inquiry

The National Citizens' Inquiry (NCI) is now more than halfway finished. A group of commissioners has been travelling across Canada to hear testimony from people affected by mask mandates, vaccine mandates and business closures. At the Red Deer stop, the NCI heard testimony from witnesses including Pastor James Coates.

Coates spent 35 days in jail for failing to impose COVID regulations on his church, an act he said would violate his religious freedom. The GraceLife building was also seized by the province of Alberta for three months, forcing the congregation to meet underground in a secret location.
