In a twist of irony, the CCLA’s first legal victory came on the one-year anniversary of the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act

TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) announced its first legal win in a court case against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act (EA), exactly one year after the act’s invocation.

The CCLA’s victory came Tuesday when a judge ruled in favor of their application to allow evidence from the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) — which was convened to investigate the Trudeau government’s use of the EA through a monthlong series of hearings — into their own case against Trudeau’s federal government’s use of the widely disputed act.

“Despite the federal government contesting this move, a judge has now ruled in the CCLA’s favor, meaning select evidence from the commission will now be considered on judicial review,” said Director of Fundamental Freedoms for the CCLA Cara Zwibel in a press release yesterday.
