    • Summary:"This pandemic-inspired legal reference explores the powers conferred by both federal and provincial emergency legislation in Canada - what they are, how legislatures have created them, how federal and provincial leaders have used and may use them, and how courts and other participants in our democratic system can hold governments accountable when they do. Written by Eric Block and Adam Goldenberg, both with McCarthy Tetrault, the commentary serves as a user's manual, with a historical context, not only for Canada's public officials, but also for those to whom they are accountable. Also included is the full text of the federal Emergencies Act, the Alberta Emergency Management Act, the British Columbia Emergency Program Act, the Ontario Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and the Quebec Civil Protection Act."-- Provided by publisher.
