trudeau_speaks_with_reporters_after_invoking_emergencies_act___february_14_2022

At a news conference on Parliament Hill, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivers remarks and responds to questions from reporters. The federal government is invoking the federal Emergencies Act in an effort to address ongoing convoy protests that have affected border crossings and cities across the country. The prime minister is joined by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland as well as ministers David Lametti (justice) Marco Mendicino (public safety) and Bill Blair (emergency preparedness). This is the first time the Act has been invoked since it replaced the War Measures Act in 1988. Trudeau also announces that Canada will offer an additional $500-million loan to Ukraine and provide $7.8 million in lethal military equipment and ammunition in response to threats of a Russian invasion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depictions-media--4208927/support.
