Could Ontario's Health Care Consent Act be suspended?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

There's a reason why some people refer to COVID-19 variants as "scariants." If widespread, some of the modelling numbers are quite scary and eventual cases could overwhelm our health care system. If that happens some are worried the Health Care Consent Act of Ontario, a law that states a person has the right to consent to or refuse treatment, could potentially be suspended. Mariam Shanouda and Jessica De Marinis are lawyers at the ARCH Disability Law Clinic and join "This Matters" to explain why people should be concerned.
