PM Trudeau announces that use of Emergencies Act will end – February 23, 2022

At a news conference on Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces that the federal government will revoke its declaration of a public-order emergency. He is joined by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland as well as ministers David Lametti (justice), Marco Mendicino (public safety) and Bill Blair (emergency preparedness). The government invoked the Emergencies Act on February 14, 2022, as part of an effort to resolve ongoing blockades and protests in several parts of the country. A motion to confirm the declaration of an emergency was adopted by the House of Commons on February 21. Debate on a similar motion in the Senate was still underway but has now been terminated in light of the prime minister's announcement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depictions-media--4208927/support.
