BREAKING: The Public Order Emergency Commission has concluded that the federal government met the threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act to bring an end to the 'Freedom Convoy' protests and blockades.
The Public Order Emergency Commission has concluded that the federal government met the threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act to bring an end to the "Freedom Convoy" protests and blockades.
The report states that the series of events that transpired can be seen as "a failure of federalism" as Canada's leaders failed to anticipate or properly manage the "torrent of political protest and social unrest" that was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and shaped by online disinformation. A core point of contention throughout the hearings was the reference, within the Emergencies Act, to the CSIS Act's definition of "threats to the security of Canada." Rouleau wants it removed. He also thinks there should be more discussion around the 'reasonable grounds' threshold requirement within the Act.
Make a series of changes to the 1988 Emergencies Act including giving the commission power to order the production of documents and extending the amount of time provided to complete its work. The prime minister was to be reviewing the report on Friday morning, and has scheduled a press conference for later this afternoon on Parliament Hill.Launched in April 2022, the inquiry was struck with a mandate to examine the circumstances that led to the historic use of the Emergencies Act as well as the measures taken through it.
