Ontario's Highway Traffic Act gives a peace officer the power to order a vehicle to be towed. Furthermore, the mayor of Ottawa has the power to declare a state of emergency, giving the city the authority to take all measures necessary to deal with the situation. Court injunctions can also be sought to give police the authority to move vehicles or to arrest people for breaking the law or for contempt of court. In your mind, when the Emergencies Act was passed, Canada's body of legislation provided for those powers, such that the Emergencies Act would not have to be invoked. Is that correct?
