Motion to extend the Emergencies Act approved in House of Commons
The motion to confirm the declaration of emergency passed 185-151, with the New Democrats voting in favour alongside the minority Liberal government.The vote to approve the measures will keep them in place until mid-March at the latest and the Senate must also vote on the government’s request.
“But even though the blockades are lifted across border openings right now, even though things seem to be resolving very well in Ottawa, this state of emergency is not over. There continues to be real concerns about the coming days,” he said. One of the factors to take into consideration to end the emergency measures, he said, would be that these protesters have left the nation’s capital and would not come back.
Just before the vote, Conservative House leader John Brassard asked if it was a confidence vote. Government House leader Mark Holland shrugged off the question and said “it’s time to vote.”“We understood absolutely that we do not want to trigger an election. That would be the worst thing to do in this crisis,” said Singh in a press conference.
