A COVID Travel Ban Case is finally heading to the Supreme Court of Canada!

In this video, Christine Van Geyn explains the case Taylor v Newfoundland, which is heading to the Supreme Court. The case considers a COVID era ban on people entering Newfoundland, and whether section 6 of the Charter protects the right to travel within Canada.
