Thank you very much for your question.
I will give you an answer but I may turn to my colleague from the Department of Justice to provide you with more details.
I have no knowledge of the advice you mentioned, but I can tell you that the act absolutely contains measures to make sure that the Charter is upheld. That is certainly the case and it is important.
With that said, it is certain that, when we looked at the situation, in Ottawa or elsewhere in the country, we saw threats.
There was disrupting the peace.
There were economic impacts of the blockades at border crossings. Many threats of a political nature were also observed and reported.
I want to ensure that those factors are acknowledged. They were very important as the need to invoke the Emergencies Act was evaluated.
At this point, I can turn to my colleague Ms. Maislin Dickson to see if she wishes to add anything.
