The emergency measures taken by the Prime Minister of Canada nine days ago to deal with the wave of protests that paralyzed Ottawa and blocked border crossings, ended.
“After careful consideration, we can confirm that the situation is no longer considered urgent. “Therefore, the federal government will end the use of the law on emergency measures,” said Canadian Prime Minister Justin. Τριντό at a press conference.
The law is used in cases of “national crisis” and gives the federal government expanded powers to impose temporary “emergency measures” without the need for the consent of local authorities.
The Emergency Measures Act had only been enacted once in peacetime (then called the War Measures Act) by his father, Justin Trinto, in October 1970. The government of Pierre Elliott Trinto invoked the law to send in Quebec and take a series of measures following the abduction by the Quebec Liberation Front of British Trade Commissioner James Richard Cross and local government minister Pierre Laport.
