THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank GunnTORONTO -- Civil liberties groups are launching legal action against an Ontario law that lets the government provide police with personal information about people who tested positive for COVID-19. in April that it would provide first responders with a database detailing the name, date of birth and address of all patients who tested positive for the virus.
Deshman said that given "patchy nature of COVID testing and the risk of asymptomatic spread," police should not rely on test results to keep safe from the disease. Instead, she said, police should practice the same public health advice the rest of the province is following. “On July 7, 2020, Ontario was served with the Notice of Application for Judicial Review,” the spokesperson stated. “As this matter is subject to litigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
But the groups involved in the legal action, including the Aboriginal Legal Services, the Black Legal Action Centre and the HIV and AIDS Legal Clinic Ontario, say the measure violates their constitutional rights to privacy and equality.
A collection of civil liberties groups is like a bunch of jackals always waiting to pick the bones.
