Conservative MPs are seeking an urgent meeting of the Commons Justice and Human Rights Committee to discuss the recent decision by the Federal Court that found the invocation of the Emergencies Act was not justified.

Given the Jan. 23 court ruling, “Canadians rightly want answers on how the Trudeau government reached the decision to use the Emergencies Act,” wrote Tory MPs in a Jan. 24 letter to the chair of the justice committee, Liberal MP Lena Metlege Diab.
