Definitely wrong on 1 count, could be correct on the other.

Although I've seen both Supreme Court and Federal Court in many places, the NDP seem to think it was a Supreme Court Judge

and CTV said it was a Federal Court judge

Either way, it was a fairly major decision.

In addition, the judge never said anything about Parliament not being able to make a decision, but that Cabinet could not.
