The federal government has launched an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada to defend its use of the Emergencies Act in 2022 in response to the Freedom Convoy.
The Federal Court of Appeal in January rejected Ottawa’s appeal against a 2024 lower court decision after finding the lower court had “correctly determined” the declaration of a public order emergency was unreasonable and that parts of the order infringed on Charter rights related to the freedom of expression.
