Presentation
COVID-19 vaccine passports/certificates are already being deployed in different contexts across the world. But uncertainty about the ethics and legality of their use continues to vex the public and policy makers, with Canada as no exception.
Join us for an expert panel discussion of vaccine passports' rationale and design, the government's proper role in regulating them, and persistent related concerns over privacy, liberty, and coercion.
