Just continuing on the theme of the test, I see that the Canada Gazette refers back to section 17 of the Emergencies Act, subsection 17(1) in particular. Can you elaborate on how subsection 17(1) interacts with section 3 in order to complete that test?
Subsection 17(1) states, “When the Governor in Council believes, on reasonable grounds, that a public order emergency exists”, and it continues to say what may be done in those circumstances. Could you please explain to the committee the reasonable grounds test, and how you view it?
