Episode 40: Federal Court deemed the Emergencies Act violated charter. Now what?
Description
The Federal Court has ruled the use of the Emergencies Act by the Trudeau government as a violation of charter.
In his ruling, Justice Richard G. Mosley wrote “I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility — and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.”
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says that Ottawa will appeal the ruling.
Many supporters of the truckers convoy that occupied Ottawa for a month and a day are celebrating this as a win.
Where do we go from here?
We unpack this issue with Michael Kempa, an Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, in Episode 40 of The Bill Kelly Podcast!
