Mr. Carignan, you're a lawyer.

I presume that you have the ability to consult the statutes that are in the statutes of Canada, the revised statutes of Canada. I'm sure you're perfectly aware that a bill called the Emergencies Act was passed by the Conservative government around 1987 or 1988. In fact, I remember sitting on this committee with you when Perrin Beatty testified to the passage of that very law.
