Well from MSM where you may not get any information selected portions of the Act can be enacted with Parliamentary approval. So for instance closing down bank accounts with the funds coming from foreign sources, but no the use of the military.Quote:

Anyone calling this a "foreign funded attempt to overthrow Canada's democratic process" is ready for the "home".Quote:

Of course protesters come in different varieties for the Con's we got Canadian Value protesters that have been getting away with murder and we got the "other" protesters who just get murdered.

Summoning Parliament or House
(2) If a declaration of emergency is issued during a prorogation of Parliament or when either House of Parliament stands adjourned, Parliament or that House, as the case may be, shall be summoned forthwith to sit within seven days after the declaration is issued.
Marginal note: Summoning Parliament
(3) If a declaration of emergency is issued at a time when the House of Commons is dissolved, Parliament shall be summoned to sit at the earliest opportunity after the declaration is issued.
No.Quote:

If the motion to confirm the declaration is adopted by both the House and Senate, it remains in place for the standard 30 days provided under the Act, at which point it will automatically expire if not extended, which also requires the approval of Parliament to proceed.
Meanwhile, within 60 days of the expiration or revocation of the declaration, the government is obliged to convene an inquiry “to be held into the circumstances that led to the declaration being issued and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency,” which “shall be laid before each House of Parliament within three hundred and sixty days after the expiration or revocation of the declaration of emergency.”
Given the government’s minority status, it’s hard to imagine how a defeat in the House Commons wouldn’t be viewed as a de facto vote of non-confidence, which would likely trigger an election. It’s not clear if that would be the case if the Senate pulled the plug on the order, however.

Read that little phrase in subsection 3 where it says "at the earliest opportunity........". That's the escape clause that can delay indefinitely. Governments can do a lot of damage in the meantime.Quote:
