The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms launched this challenge on behalf of seven Manitoba churches, a minister, a deacon and a man who was fined for attending an anti-lockdown rally. Joyal said he is working on his decision on a constitutional challenge calling on the courts to strike down part of the provinceвЂ™s public health act. вЂњObviously, this ongoing surveillance that IвЂ™ve described and the connected intrusion into my privacy have serious implications not only for the public safety of judges generally, the privacy of the residences and private property, but also it has significant implications respecting how any such gathered sensitive information and private detail is shared and with whom,вЂќ Joyal said. He noted he doesnвЂ™t know the exact nature of the surveillance, but it includes вЂњattendance at, near or around my private cottage.вЂќ He said, as with his home, he doesnвЂ™t know how the agency found this information. IвЂ™m told the investigation is ongoing,вЂќ he said, noting the nature of the private investigation agencyвЂ™s retainer has been confirmed. вЂњThe City of WinnipegвЂ™s police service was called in, as was the Government of ManitobaвЂ™s internal security and intelligence unit. Joyal noted that based on subsequent information, it is believed this was an attempt by the agency to confirm the location of his home. In walking away the young boy nervously refused to provide information about his inquiries or his attendance at my private residence.вЂќ вЂњThe young boy went to the front door of my residence, rang the doorbell and made inquiries of my daughter respecting my presence.

вЂњA young boy, described as approximately 14 years of age exited as a passenger of an unknown vehicle,вЂќ he said. Joyal noted that the investigation agency went to his home on July 8. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is representing a group of seven Manitoba churches who are challenging the provinceвЂ™s public health orders, arguing they have violated religious freedoms.Д¬ourt of QueenвЂ™s Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal said in court on Monday he learned of this private investigator in the last few days, noting someone hired the private investigation agency to gather potentially вЂњembarrassingвЂќ information regarding his compliance with public health restrictions.

ManitobaвЂ™s chief justice says the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms hired a private investigator in order to try to catch him breaking COVID-19 public health orders.
