Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, gentlemen, for your attendance today, and providing us with some much-needed clarity and some direction. We really appreciate your legal experience and interpretation of this statute, which has more questions, ultimately, than clarity.

Would you agree with me that the Emergencies Act sets out particular thresholds that must be met before the Governor in Council may proclaim a public order emergency?
