In my two and a half years as a parliamentarian, Minister Virani, I have witnessed your government opining on several Supreme Court of Canada rulings and various provincial court of appeal rulings. The talking point has always been “We need to review the decision. We need to measure our response, and we will decide in due course whether or not we will launch an appeal.”
However, in this particular case, you clearly didn't read all 191 pages. It was important to you, because you were politically humiliated. The entire government was humiliated, particularly your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that you illegally invoked the Emergencies Act. That's why you received your marching orders, probably from the Prime Minister if not from the PMO, to publicly state your intentions to appeal, yes or no?
