In this episode of Runnymede Radio, we feature an original interview with Professor Philippe Lagass\u00e9 (Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University). Lagass\u00e9 discusses his recent writing on the possible existence of a Crown prerogative to \u201ckeep the peace\u201d within Canada, and what this would mean for the constitutional foundations of executive power. Using the Emergencies Act and the 2022 Public Order Emergency as context, he considers whether statutory frameworks fully define the scope of emergency authority.
