Canadian Constitution Foundation suggests amendments to mandatory mask order in Ontario
07/12/2020
The Canadian Constitution Foundation has questioned the constitutionality of orders requiring face coverings in certain Ontario municipalities. In a letter to Dr. Nicola Mercer, medical officer of health at the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph public health region, the CCF said that a June 12 order imposing the use of mandatory face coverings in commercial establishments breached s. 7, s. 15 and s. 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
