The strategic communications firm Enterprise Canada has served lawyer Brendan Miller with a defamation notice in response to claims Miller made this week about one of the firm's employees.

Miller is the legal counsel for a group of convoy protest organizers before the Public Order Emergency Commission...

During the hearings on Monday, Miller suggested — citing no evidence — that Brian Fox, a partner at Enterprise, carried a Nazi flag in the thick of the protest crowd in Ottawa last winter so that photos would be taken and the protesters would be discredited.

Lietaer told CBC News Network's Power & Politics on Tuesday that Fox is getting death threats due to Miller's "unhinged allegation."

"It's absolutely ridiculous," Lietaer told guest host David Cochrane. "It's having real impacts, I mean the threats … it's got to stop."

But Miller continued his line of questioning about Fox throughout this week's inquiry hearings and has at certain points attempted to tie Enterprise and Fox to the Liberal Party.

In a letter addressed to Miller Tuesday, Enterprise's counsel Jeff Galway said Fox was not in Ottawa during the protests earlier this year, and that he recalled last visiting the city in 2019.

The letter also says that Fox is a longstanding member of the Conservative Party.

On Thursday evening, Miller mistook an observer who was leaving commission for Fox. Miller chased after the man and asked him if he wanted to testify.

"Well, that was fun," Miller said, laughing after the encounter. "There's a hole in my case."

Miller apologized to the individual.
