Ottawa appeals Federal Court decision on unjustified use of Emergencies Act during 2022 Freedom Convoy protests.
Ottawa is appealing a Federal Court decision that found its use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests to be unjustified. The federal government is asking the Federal Court of Appeal to overturn the January decision, which stated that the government's emergency measures led to the infringement of constitutional rights. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association and others argued in court that Ottawa invoked emergency powers without sound statutory grounds.
