This sounds exactly like what the Canadian government did with the truckers and the invoking of the Emergencies Act. They twisted and mangled the spirit of the law stretching just enough to 'justify' invoking the EA. They were getting caught up in all the messy legalese to the point it became a joke. They, in the end, admitted they had to bypass the law because there was a threat to national security - even though there never was one as clearly stated by our national security apparatus (CSIS) and law enforcement. To this day, the 'inquiry' (called POEC) looking into it left more questions than answers.
The ruling judge (a lifelong Liberal activist) 'reluctantly' determined the government 'met the threshold' to invoke despite the entire inquiry pretty much concluding the opposite.
We're living in the bizarro world. Inverted realities.
