The West Block – Episode 11, Season 12
: Up next, revealing testimony at the Emergencies Act Inquiry.: On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified at the public inquiry, into his government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act last February.: “There is a sense that people—that the police jurisdiction had lost control and wasn’t able to control the situation.”: The controversial act had never been used before and it suspended key civil liberties. The commission heard from an extensive list of witnesses over the weeks.
So I think at the end of the day, I don’t know what the commission’s going to say about whether or not they met the standard for the Act or whether or not the Act is sort of faulty, but I think the commission will say this Act needs a rewrite. There’s really good things in here. It is a significant step up from the War Measures Act. It really does consider our civil liberties.
We had talked about political risk. It didn’t seem like there was any really big explosive moment in this for either the Conservatives or the Liberals that it was going to be particularly damning.
That’s our show for today. Thanks so much for watching. For The West Block, I’m Mercedes Stephenson and I’ll see you here next Sunday. Have a great week.
