Lawsuit challenges powers of Manitoba s top doctor, says health orders unconstitutional

Posted: Feb 09, 2021 4:24 PM CT | Last Updated: February 10 Seven Manitoba churches, a minister, a deacon, and a man who was fined for attending an anti-lockdown rally in Steinbach in November have taken the province and its top doctor to court in a constitutional challenge of public health orders. (Austin Grabish/CBC) As Manitoba s chief public health officer was announcing the relaxation of some public health restrictions Tuesday, his powers were being challenged in a court proceeding questioning the constitutionality of the months-long partial lockdown and ban on in-person gatherings. The two-day hearing is part of a constitutional challenge being led by The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is representing seven rural Manitoba churches, a minister, a deacon and a man who was fined for attending an anti-lockdown rally in Steinbach in November.

Constitutional challenge questions Manitoba top doctor s power to pass health orders

  WINNIPEG A constitutional challenge is calling on the court to strike down parts of the province’s public health act which lawyers argue give Manitoba s chief provincial public health officer immense and limitless power with little oversight. On Tuesday as Dr. Brent Roussin, Manitoba s chief public health officer, announced the new round of public health orders set to take effect on Friday, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms launched a challenge in Manitoba s Court of Queen’s Bench questioning the power given to the top doctor to implement those orders. In its arguments, lawyers for the Justice Centre argued there is insufficient oversight in the extent of what Dr. Brent Roussin and Dr. Jazz Atwal, Manitoba s deputy chief public health officer, are allowed to do in a public health emergency.
