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.
