The prime minister invoked Canada's Emergencies Act in February in response to the Freedom Convoy trucker protests.
"We're going to continue to ensure that China knows we'll stand up for human rights, we'll stand with people who are expressing themselves," Trudeau said."We also need to make sure that China and places around the world are respecting journalists and their ability to do their job. We'll continue to make that very clear.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testifies before the Public Order Emergency Commission public inquiry on November 25, 2022, in Ottawa. Trudeau has been described by some as a hypocrite for his encouragement of Chinese protests after his handling of the trucker Freedom Convoy this year.
Last Friday, Trudeau appeared before Canada's Public Order Emergency Commission to testify in defense of his invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the Freedom Convoy trucker protests. Trudeau's use of the act on February 14 was the first by a Canadian leader since it was passed into law by parliament in 1988.
