Which POGG branch was referenced for matters of extraordinary national concern, such as war?

The correct answer relates to the "Emergency Branch" of the Peace, Order, and Good Government (POGG) doctrine, which is invoked in circumstances of extraordinary national concern, such as war or severe national crises. This branch allows the federal government to legislate on matters that are urgent and beyond the scope of provincial jurisdiction when faced with a substantial threat to the nation or public order.

Under this branch, the federal government is provided with the authority to act decisively in times of national emergencies, ensuring that it can safeguard the welfare and security of the country.
