You're missing the point of my question, Minister.

If my phone was pinged at 3:00 a.m., once a day, you would find it consistently on my nightstand, beside my bed. It would be of little to no value in the managing of COVID-19.

My question is this: In order for the data to be useful, how many times a day would a Canadian's cellphone location have to be provided to the government in order to make an effective decision? How many data points are there per day?
