Emergencies Act Series – What You Won’t See on CBC. Was it Legal? Was the Threshold Met?
Emergencies Act Committee Witness Perrin Beatty. In this video Emergencies Act architect Perrin Beatty’s committee testimony introduction on the first use of the legislation where he outlines it’s intent when it was originally passed in 1988. Was the invocation of the Emergencies Act legal? Was the threshold met? Watch the video and you decide.
I am releasing a series of videos with behind-the-scenes footage on the invocation of the Emergencies Act. This series includes footage from the House of Commons, the Senate, parliamentary committees, live feeds, independent media footage, and mainstream media including what they do and do not report including media bias and retractions.
Perrin Beatty, creator of the Emergencies Act, testifies at EA Parliamentary Committee that section 2 of the CSIS act was deliberately incorporated in the Emergencies Act in order to ensure the very high threshold to invoke is met. #EmergenciesActInquiry #POEC #POECommission pic.twitter.com/Bhxq9y1nhn
