Everything about The Emergencies Act totally explained
The
Emergencies Act is an
Act of the
Parliament of Canada to authorize the taking of special temporary measures to ensure
safety and
security during national emergencies and to amend
other Acts in consequence thereof.
It received
Royal Assent on
July 21,
1988, replacing the
War Measures Act.
The Emergencies Act differs from the War Measures Act in two important ways:
- A declaration of an emergency by the Cabinet must be reviewed by Parliament
- Any temporary laws made under the Act are subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Thus any attempt by the government to suspend the
civil rights of Canadians, even in an emergency, will be subject to the "reasonable and justified" test under section 1 of the Charter.
