The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has filed an application to appeal a decision upholding Quebec’s 2021 Covid curfew which forced people into their homes at 8 p.m. for months.
“Emergency powers are not a blank cheque,” said constitutional lawyer Olivier Séguin. “If the government invokes public health legislation to restrict Charter freedoms, it must act within the powers that legislation gives it. That is the fundamental issue we are asking the Court of Appeal to address”
