OBA Public Sector Lawyers / Constitutional, Civil Liberties and Human Rights Law PROGRAM
9:00 AM to 10:30 AM (EDT)

Bill 195, Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Approach to COVID-19) Act, 2020, received Royal Assent on July 21st, 2020, but not without controversy. While Ontario has ended the Declaration of Emergency, this new law allows the province to maintain and modify emergency orders historically only allowed while a Declaration of Emergency is in place, raising questions about the impact the new law will have on Ontarians across the province as we enter the recovery phase. Join our panel of experts as they examine the new legislation and understand how this will impact your clients over the next year, including both employees and employers. Gain a detailed analysis on the potential effect on individual rights as the province tries to keep Ontarians safe in the year ahead.
