Args are treated differently when they are contained in a String:

PS D:\> echo "1 2 3"
1 2 3
PS D:\> echo 1 2 3
1
2
3

The same results occur when you use a variable for the args:

PS D:\> $param = "1 2 3"
PS D:\> echo $param
1 2 3

The SOLUTION is to use an Array:

PS D:\> $param = @(1,2,3)
PS D:\> echo $param
1
2
3
