Solicitor General
Police can ask for any person outside their house for ID and why they are somewhere else. They can also pull over vehicles for a check.
McNaughton
- Non-essential construction shutting (malls, offices, hotels), Residential, LTC are specifically allowed to be open
- More and more people are being asked into the office. Will be inspecting law, accounting etc to make sure those inside are following safety protocols. (GG-seems like a contradiction and they are inspecting for masks)
Questions
What happens if a person tells the police to f off and not answer questions? SG - you can get a $750 ticket (GG-whoopdeee^*^&*(^do)
Where does medical help come from? CE: probably atlantic. We have built beds, we are ramping down surgeries to free up bodies, bringing students in pre-grad, bringing retired nurses back, several thousand international nurses respiratory therapists etc being brought it.
Do you regret not implementing effective measures earlier? DF - we have done a great job. We have had hotspots in lockdown for months (GG- gfy doug, your "lockdown" was like a bichon as a guard dog).
What happened to outdoor activity being safe? DF - go take a walk, playgrounds are packed and that is unacceptable. CE - go for a walk, go exercise, only your household, do not congregate, follow public health measures.
Amazon warehouse at full capacity? DF - three prong approach, blah blah blah, we handed out rapid tests. (GG-he's learning from JT, answer the question). Williams - restrictions in place for a long time, right time right way, some people have become complacent, lots of people doing the right thing (GG - also didn't answer the question).
Why not close non-essential manufacturing and commercial now? DF - supply chain long. If we shut down forestry that would shut down aspirin production etc.
DF - this is on feds for slow vaccine supply (great deflection douggie. JT f'd up but you played a part too).
Other provinces closed manufacturing - McNaughton safety rah rah, inspections, protect every worker, we made posters
