Manitoba churches question Dr. Roussin’s pandemic powers in court hearing During the hearing on Feb. 9, the group argued Roussin’s public health orders and decisions were made without elected oversight.“There is no evidence of any consultation, any advising of the house on behalf of the minister,” lawyer Jay Cameron told Chief Justice Glenn Joyal.“So what it very much looks like is Dr.
Roussin makes an order, the minister rubber stamps it and it becomes law and it impacts over a million people.”However, Joyal pushed back, noting the government has engaged with Manitobans.The centre’s lawyers are representing Gateway Bible Baptist Church, Pembina Valley Baptist Church, Redeeming Grace Bible Church, Thomas Rempel, Grace Covenant Church,.
