Conservatives continue to hammer Liberals over the invocation of Emergencies Act

Conservative MPs continued to hammer Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino over the invocation of the Emergencies Act during the trucker protests and whether anyone outright asked the government to invoke the act. It came after his deputy minister told a committee that Mendicino had been “misunderstood” when he seemed to say police asked for the act to be used. Mendicino defended the government, saying they consulted with law enforcement and invoked it because it was necessary.
