Pearl Eliadis on Emergencies Act | CBC Radio Noon Quebec & Quebec AM
February 15, 2022 | On Radio Noon Quebec with Shawn Apel, and on Quebec AM, professor Pearl Eliadis discusses the criteria for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoking the Emergencies Act in response to the ongoing convoy protests across Canada. In response to the program's prompt of "Do you feel like the federal government has lost control of protests?" that host Apel was asking, Eliadis said: "We have a reasonably good assurance from the government that excessive measures will not be taken and that it will be kept proportionate and balanced and not engage in irrational overreaches."
On Quebec AM, Eliadis gives her take on federal government's decision to invoke Emergencies Act.
