Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is revoking the Emergencies Act.

He made the announcement late this afternoon in Ottawa.

Trudeau says the government can revoke the Act now that the crisis in Ottawa and at Canada’s border crossings has calmed down.

He invoked the Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in 1988, for the first time last week, saying police needed extra help to end blockades that had been ongoing in downtown Ottawa for weeks, and had spread to key Canada-U.S. border crossings.

On Monday, Trudeau said the time-limited, extraordinary powers granted by the Act were still needed because his government was worried about blockades returning.

But he says order has now been restored and, while threats remain, police and existing legislation will be enough to prevent further occupations.
