Public Order Emergency Revoked

Summary#

The Proclamation Revoking the Declaration of a Public Order Emergency: SOR/2022-26 removes a previously made public order emergency under the Emergencies Act. It was registered as SOR/2022-26 on February 23, 2022 and published in the Canada Gazette on March 2, 2022.

What it does#

• Formally revokes a standing declaration of a public order emergency under the Emergencies Act.
• The action is recorded as SOR/2022-26 (registration February 23, 2022) and appeared in the Canada Gazette on March 2, 2022.
• The instrument type is a proclamation.

Who's affected#

• People and organizations that were subject to or involved with the earlier public order emergency declaration.
• The Canada Gazette notice does not list specific individuals, groups, businesses, or agencies by name, so it is unclear from this item alone exactly who will notice changes on the ground.

Why it matters#

• Revoking the declaration ends the formal status of a public order emergency. That can remove the legal basis for any special measures that relied on that declaration.
• For anyone who experienced restrictions, exceptional rules, or extraordinary government measures tied to the emergency declaration, this proclamation signals those special arrangements are being ended.
