From Politico:
OTTAWA, Ont. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won approval from the House of Commons on Monday night for the Emergencies Act, which he put into play a week ago to end the convoy blockades in Canada.
The Liberal government won the vote 185-151 with the support of the New Democratic Party.
Outside the House of Commons, the streets around Parliament Hill have been cleared of trucks and protesters, although police still control access to the area.
Trudeau has said from the start that the never-before-used emergency measures would be targeted and temporary. On Monday morning, he told Canadians the state of emergency is not over.
“There continues to be real concerns about the coming days,” he said, “but we will continue to evaluate every single day whether or not it is time and we are able to lift this state of emergency.”
When asked if he considered the vote one of confidence in his minority government, Trudeau replied, “I can't imagine anyone voting against this bill as expressing anything other than a deep mistrust in the government's ability to keep Canadians safe at an extraordinarily important time.”....

Next up, the implementation of the bill will be reviewed, results in, maybe, 45 days.
