I generally advise against legislating on the subject of emergency management during an emergency. The uncertainty and fear that are present at the time of a pandemic interfere with and disproportionately adversely affect individual rights. In essence, everything ends up being like the U.S. Patriot Act.
Under those circumstances, I'm nervous, I should say, about legislating at this time, because I don't think adequate protection for human rights would be found. Be that as it may, there nevertheless can be a lot put into place, apparently, by way of emergency management cabinet orders in council, provincially and federally. The powers exist to put those protections in place.
I'm ducking that question a bit, because I'd rather our privacy laws not be legislated right now in Canada. At the end of it, I think it would be a mistake, and it would be bad news for civil liberties.
