Loading ...CANADA – Liberal government appeals Emergencies Act decisions to the Supreme Court – National Post
The Liberal government is honking its final horn in its legal battle to validate its invocation of the exceptional powers of the Emergencies Act to deal with the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests.
Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government filed its application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) in the hopes that the highest court in the land overturn two earlier decisions against Ottawa.
Now, the Supreme Court of Canada must decide if it will hear the case.
But the federal government faces a high bar for its appeal to be heard because there was no disagreement between the Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal, meaning there are no major legal questions to be answered by the SCC.
