Inquiry into Emergencies Act rules measures applied under law were mostly justified
When the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act in February 2022, it created several extraordinary powers hoping to clear protests entrenched in Ottawa’s downtown core and at border blockades spotted across four provinces.
Rouleau concluded that banning people from assembling in certain spaces was effective because it was what Ottawa police relied on to create an “exclusion zone” around the city’s downtown. He called that critical to the police operational plan. Describing it as a “close call,” he accepted the federal cabinet was reasonably concerned about protests overstretching police resources across the country.Discouraged parents from bringing children to the protests.3. Designate certain services as essential and compel companies providing those services to do so in the protest zones.For much of the blockade in Ottawa in particular, police said they could not compel tow truck services to help remove trucks.
“In this light, it was reasonable to consider that individuals would come to Canada to physically join the protests, and it was appropriate to take measures to prevent this,” Rouleau wrote.
