The Conservatives’ public safety critic says recently released government documents show that the threshold to invoke the Emergencies Act to clear the Freedom Convoy protests wasn’t met and that the federal government was wrong to use the act.
“The government was advised that negotiations were on the cusp of proving effective but instead invoked the emerg act, which eliminated the possibility of a peaceful resolution,” Raquel Dancho, Conservative MP and her party’s shadow minister for public safety, said in a social media post on Aug. 12.
