Notice of application alleges the federal health minister has failed or refused to provide evidence that ArriveCan’s data collection is legal or secure
OTTAWA — A constitutional rights group has launched a legal challenge of a federal requirement that travellers to Canada use the ArriveCan app.
The action was filed in Federal Court by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms on behalf of 11 Canadians, including some allegedly fined up to $8,500. The legal challenge, spearheaded by an organization that has opposed public health measures such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates, seeks to strike down mandatory use of the app and to declare quarantine rules for Canadians who refuse to use the app as unconstitutional.
The notice of application alleges the federal health minister has failed or refused to provide evidence that ArriveCan’s data collection is legal or secure. It also claims ArriveCan has proven to be unreliable and prone to errors that have infringed the Charter rights of Canadians.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 24, 2022.
