Most importantly thanks to @OrlaghOKelly1 & Sharon Roberts for pursuing this case pro bono in support of children with disabilities & their families. While the court didn't find a Charter violation, the finding that Cabinet breached the Public Health Act is a bittersweet victory.
Today's decision has implications for the current public health crisis facing kids in Alberta & across 🇨🇦. Cases of RSV, flu & other viruses are surging. Children's hospitals are swamped. Public health decisions need to put #childrenfirst over politics.
