During Tuesday’s session of question period in the House of Commons, interim Conservative Party Leader Candice Bergen slammed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act amid the weeks-long trucker protests occupying Ottawa.
Trudeau defended the unprecedented move, assuring the House that this act is targeted and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canadians would be respected.
Trudeau invoked the never-before-used Emergencies Act on Monday to aid provinces ending the blockades and public disorder that have gripped Ottawa for 19 days at the hands of participants in the so-called “Freedom Convoy.
The prime minister said he is triggering the act after discussions with his caucus, premiers and opposition leaders, adding that the move does not include calling in the military or overriding civil rights.
