More than 2,000 people marched Saturday afternoon in Toronto to demand an independent inquiry into police actions during last month's G20 summit.

Organized by labour, community and student groups, the rally headed south from Queen's Park, site of the Ontario legislature, through downtown to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, where the summit took place June 26 and 27.

"What do we want? Public inquiry! When do we want it? Now!" the demonstrators chanted as they filed into a park across from the convention centre.

The Ontario Ombudsman will investigate the introduction of a regulation that gave police broad powers to search and arrest people within Toronto's G20 summit perimeter.

Andre Marin said Friday in a news release his investigation will probe "the origin and subsequent communication of the controversial security regulation passed by the province prior to the June 26-27 G20 summit."

The temporary powers regulation, which was published in the official Ontario Gazette last Saturday, five days after it lapsed, became publicly known when a man was arrested two days before the summit for refusing to provide ID to police while exploring the fence around the G20 "red zone."

The head of the Toronto Police union is calling an independent civilian review of G20 policing a "lame duck" inquiry because it has no legal power to effect changes in police operations.

The comments made by Mike McCormack come one day after Toronto Police Services Board, a civilian agency overseeing the police force, approved an independent review of police tactics during the G20 protests. The review is not a full-fledged public inquiry, which would be legally binding.

McCormack, the head of Toronto Police Association, said Wednesday a number of officers from police agencies across Canada were involved in policing the protests on June 26-27, but the review's findings can only be applied to Toronto police.

The Toronto Police Services Board has approved an independent review of police tactics during the G20 protests.

The board, a civilian agency overseeing the police force, met Tuesday morning to discuss oversight of police actions during the summit.

The CBC's Lisa Naccarato, reporting from the meeting, said the board will decide on the scope of the review in two weeks at the latest. Police services chair Alok Mukherjee will draw up a short list of candidates, and the board will vote on their choice by then.
