US EditionOttawa defends its use of Emergencies Act before Federal Court of Appeal
- The Trudeau government is defending its use of the Emergencies Act in the Federal Court of Appeal after losing a previous case, where the court ruled the invocation unlawful and unconstitutional.
- Justice Richard Mosley found that no national emergency existed and that the government's actions violated constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
- The Canadian Constitution Foundation argued that the legal definition of threats to security was not met, and CSIS Director David Vigneault advised the government that the threshold had not been reached.
- The government claims its authority to invoke the Act is virtually unrestricted, contradicting the Act's careful drafting to prevent abuse of emergency powers.
