Abstract
- The article discusses the steps undertaken by the government of Canada in handling global health threats. The federal government augmented its efforts in dealing with suspected cases of communicable diseases at major entry points such as airports. However, its Quarantine Act fails to provide remedy for global health threats as it lack the necessary provisions to contain public health emergencies.
