Hon. Denise Batters: First of all, Senator Yussuff, that was a very thoughtful speech. Thank you very much for all of the important points that you raised.
I just saw that Canadian Press is tweeting out a CP news alert:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to revoke use of the Emergencies Act, according to two senior government sources, now that the protest in downtown Ottawa is over.
Apparently is he speaking at 4 p.m. ET.
So given this debate that we’ve been engaged in for so many hours in the Senate, with many thoughtful comments from both sides, what do you think about that, Senator Yussuff?
Senator Batters: Thank you for that response. Would you agree with me that, given this particular analysis of the situation now, it seems like the proper vote for this chamber to undertake would be to vote no?
