Romaine found former Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw made recommendations and ultimately implemented the restrictions, but it was cabinet which wielded the final decision making power.

Alberta's Public Health Act does not allow for the CMOH to delegate her decision-making powers to politicians.
