Teh EMA Inquiry: Trudeau's redefinition – Justice Paul Rouleau's decision was based on assumptions and not facts?
"The former minister under Brian Mulroney, who oversaw the process to replace the War Measures Act with the Emergencies Act in 1988, says the Trudeau government should release the legal opinion it used to justify invoking the act last winter. This former minister is Perrin Beatty, who once headed the defence department. On February 22nd, he took to Twitter, where he said, “I believe the government should release the legal opinion it relied on. How can you ask Canadians to obey the law when you won’t tell them what it is?”
"This should have been done in an ideal political clime long before now. The government is responsible to the people, the electorate, who voted them in, and as a result, the good people of Canada deserve to know what legal backing gave Trudeau the confidence to invoke the Emergencies Act. But unfortunately, Canada is toiling under a prime minister who doesn’t care about due process. As far as Trudeau is concerned, once he has the backing of the NDP on a matter such as this, he wouldn’t care to answer any questions on them because he knows that the strength of the Liberals-NDP coalition would crush any opposition in the House."
