Pontiac MP Sophie Chatel issues statement on invocation of Emergencies Act

Pontiac MP Sophie Chatel published Facebook videos in both official languages yesterday concerning the government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.

“The situation here in Gatineau, Ottawa, but across Canada is serious, and it’s not just in Canada,” she begins. “What worries me is around the world our democracies are under threat, and we may have thought, naively, that we are immune from what’s going on south of the border, but we’re not. Where I stand is with law, order and good governance. I think it’s the foundation of our democracy and I will defend it.”
