COVID-19 and the rule of law, part 2
Description
In this episode, Edmonton health lawyer Tracey Bailey and host Jon Festinger examine our rights and freedoms in the midst of a pandemic. Tracey walked us through some of the differences in legislation in BC and Alberta as it relates to emergency powers and explained the relationship between the medical officer and government officials. They also touched on some hot topics, like the orders that limit gatherings in our private homes, rules around mask wearing, and what fair vaccine distribution might look like.
We also fast forwarded to a post-COVID-19 world, and whether we might see litigation and law suits from those feel like they were not properly protected from the disease.
Tracey Bailey has worked in the area of health law, policy and ethics for almost 30 years. She practices law as counsel with Miller Thomson where she advises public and private health system and health professional clients, focusing on regulatory, strategic and risk management advice and government relations.
