Ethics committee summons Duclos, Tam on mobile-phone data collection during pandemic

CTV News: "The House of Commons ethics committee is calling on the health minister to explain the Public Health Agency of Canada's collection of data from millions of mobile phones to understand travel patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Opposition MPs on the committee fear the pandemic is being used to undermine the privacy of Canadians who were not aware that a government agency has been collecting mobile-phone data. During an emergency meeting Thursday, the committee of MPs passed a motion asking Jean-Yves Duclos and Canada's chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, to appear before it to answer questions on the policy."
