Vancouver Sun: 'Conservative leadership hopeful Pierre Poilievre says he is consulting with legal experts to find a way to “curtail” the federal Emergencies Act to prevent it from being used for “political purposes” like during the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.
'“I’m consulting with legal scholars on how we can curtail the power and limit the use of the Emergencies Act in the future,” Poilievre said during an hour-and-a-half conversation with media personality and former University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson uploaded to social media Monday.
'“But I do think we need to craft changes to the act that will prevent it from being abused for political purposes like this again,” he added.'
