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.

"Romaine ... also ruled the infringements that did occur were "amply and demonstrably justified" under the Charter because of the nature of the unprecedented public health emergency."

This is the important part. Just because they are getting off on a technicality does not mean they did the right thing. I wonder how many are dead due to their arrogance.
