OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will invoke the little-used Emergencies Act to give his government extra powers to deal with protesting truckers, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation said on Monday.

The CBC, which did not give a source for the report, said Ottawa had no plans to send in the military.
