加拿大最高法院周四宣布，它将受理一起上诉案件。该上诉案件针对的是2024年联邦法院的裁决：该裁决认定前总理贾斯汀·特鲁多政府在2022年动用《紧急状态法》时侵犯了抗议者的宪法权利。
The Supreme Court of Canada said Thursday that it will hear an appeal of a 2024 Federal Court ruling that found the government of former prime minister Justin Trudeau infringed the Charter rights of convoy participants when it invoked the Emergencies Act in 2022.
联邦政府随后向联邦上诉法院提出了上诉，而联邦上诉法院在2026年1月维持了原判决的结果。
The federal government appealed that decision to the Federal Court of Appeal, which in January 2026 agreed with the the lower court's decision.
联邦上诉法院在裁决中表示，联邦法院法官理查德·莫斯利在2024年的判决是正确的——当时执政的自由党政府没有合理的依据认为这些抗议活动会对国家安全构成威胁，因此其动用《紧急状态法》的行为不符合法律规定的标准。
In agreeing, the Federal Court of Appeal said Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley was correct when he ruled in 2024 that the Liberal cabinet at the time did not have reasonable grounds to believe that the convoy protest posed a threat to national security, and therefore the decision to invoke the act fell short of the legal threshold required.
“尽管渥太华的抗议活动具有扰乱社会秩序的严重性，但它们根本不足以构成对国家安全的威胁，”联邦上诉法院的三位法官在裁决书中写道。
"As disturbing and disruptive the blockades and the convoy protests in Ottawa could be, they fell well short of a threat to national security," wrote the three judges on the Federal Court of Appeal.
联邦政府随后申请将此案上诉至最高法院，最高法院也同意受理该案件。
The federal government sought leave to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, which said Thursday that it will hear the case.
法院裁定：联邦政府在抗议活动中动用《紧急状态法》的行为属于不合理之举，且违反了宪法规定。
Federal government loses Emergencies Act appeal, court says use during convoy protest was unreasonable Ottawa's use of Emergencies Act against convoy protests was unreasonable, violated Charter, court rules In 2022, a protest largely against vaccine requirements attracted thousands of people to the capital for weeks, many in trucks, who had a slew of grievances aimed at Trudeau and his government.
2022年，一场主要针对疫苗强制要求的抗议活动吸引了数千人前往渥太华，抗议者大多乘坐卡车。这些抗议者对特鲁多政府提出了诸多不满。为清除占据渥太华及边境口岸（包括温莎的大使桥）的抗议者，自由党政府于2022年2月14日动用了《紧急状态法》。该法律的启用赋予执法部门特殊权力，允许他们驱逐和逮捕抗议者，并冻结与抗议活动有关人员的财产。
In an effort to clear protesters who had occupied Ottawa and border crossings, including the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, the Liberal government invoked the act on Feb. 14, 2022. Invoking the act gave law enforcement extraordinary powers to remove and arrest protesters, while allowing the government to freeze the finances of those connected to the protests.
这是自1988年《紧急状态法》取代《战争措施法》以来，该法律首次被实际使用。
It was the first time the law had been invoked since it replaced the War Measures Act in 1988.
2023年的委员会称联邦政府达到了法律门槛。由专员保罗·鲁洛领导的强制性调查审查了政府动用《紧急状态法》的情况，并于2023年初得出了与后续法律挑战不同的结论。
2023 commission said feds met legal threshold A mandatory inquiry, led by Commissioner Paul Rouleau, reviewed the government's use of the Emergencies Act and came to a different conclusion in early 2023 than the subsequent legal challenges.
鲁洛得出结论认为，联邦政府达到了援引《紧急状态法》所需的“非常高”的门槛，理由是警务和联邦制方面存在失灵。
Rouleau concluded the federal government met the "very high" threshold needed to invoke the Emergencies Act, citing a failure in policing and federalism.
身为安大略上诉法院法官的鲁洛确实表示，他得出这一结论时有些不情愿。
Rouleau, an Ontario Court of Appeal justice, did say he reached his conclusion with some reluctance.
“我得出这一结论并不轻松，因为我认为其事实依据并不充分，”他在报告公开后发表的声明中说。
"I do not come to this conclusion easily, as I do not consider the factual basis for it to be overwhelming," he said in statements he gave after his report was made public.
