House of Commons passes Emergencies Act motion after fractious debate

House of Commons passes Emergencies Act motion after fractious debate
OTTAWA — The House of Commons has passed a motion to approve extraordinary, time-limited measures in the Emergencies Act, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked last week in a bid to end blockades in Ottawa and at several border crossings.

Quote: "OTTAWA — The House of Commons has passed a motion to approve the extraordinary and temporary measures in the Emergencies Act, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked last week in a bid to end blockades in Ottawa and at several border crossings.
The motion to confirm the declaration of emergency passed 185-151, with the New Democrats voting in favour alongside the minority Liberal government.
New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh said earlier Monday his party would support the motion, but withdraw that support as soon as it decides the measures are no longer necessary, including if remaining convoy members stopped lingering in Ottawa and near border crossings.
The Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois opposed it." End Quote.
Well, Trudeau got his wish. Let's see how things go in Canada under the ongoing "Emergency."
