On Friday April 3, 2020 the Government of Ontario released an updated list of essential businesses. This list narrows the field of businesses deemed ‘essential’ in the context of the present COVID-19 pandemic. Please refer to our earlier note which addressed the first “essential business” list published on March 24, 2020 under Regulation 82/20. Any business that is not included on the updated list is required to close its physical location by 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, April 4, 2020. However, the Government has made it clear that the updated list will not preclude:
1. the provision of work and services by entities that are not on the list, either online, or by
telephone or by mail/delivery;
2. delivery of services of any publicly funded agency or organization that delivers or
supports government operations and services, including operations and services in the
health care sector; or
3. teleworking or online commerce (which may continue for all businesses) It is not yet clear whether any further exceptions will be provided. We note that the regulation setting out the original list of essential businesses permitted temporary access to a closed business for certain purposes, including attending at the place of business temporarily to deal with critical matters that cannot be attended to remotely, or to access materials, goods, or supplies that may be necessary for the business to be operated remotely. We have included a chart at the bottom of this note comparing the new essential business list as compared with the list published on March 24, 2020. It is clear from the chart below that:
certain businesses that were previously included in the original essential businesses list
have been omitted;
certain businesses may now only provide services in a particular manner, such as curb
side pick-up and delivery; and
only critical construction projects will be permitted to continue, such as petrochemical
plants and infrastructure projects, such as hospitals, roads, and bridges. What immediate steps should you take? All businesses in Ontario will need to review the current list and make an assessment as to whether they are required to close their physical locations by 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2020. If you are unclear as to whether your business is reflected on (or has been omitted from) the updated list, contact the Government of Ontario’s “Stop the Spread Business Information Line” at 1-888-444-3659. Please note that the updated list may be subject to change, and as such, please refer directly to the official Government list when determining whether your business qualifies as an “essential business”. What are the consequences for remaining open if your business is not on the list?
Page 13 of 28
We anticipate that this new updated list will be published as a regulation under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (as with the prior list) or as an update to the prior regulation. Assuming that is the case, there are serious consequences under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act for failing to comply with the Regulation. Such failure is an ‘offence’ under the Act punishable:
1. In the case of an individual, by a fine of nor more than $100,000 and imprisonment for up
to a year;
2. In the case of a director of officer of a corporation, by a fine of not more than $500,000
and imprisonment for up to a year; and
3. In the case of a corporation, by a fine of not more than $10,000,000. Each day that the offence continues (e.g. the business remains open) is a separate offence that could trigger a new set of penalties. Further, the court may increase any fine imposed on any person in an amount equal to any financial benefit that the offending person received as a result of the offence. What are your options if you are forced to close? If your business does not fall within the scope of the “essential businesses”, and the exceptions (e.g. working remotely) do not provide a viable alternative for your business, then your business will be forced to close. Businesses who are forced to close should consider whether they have any insurance coverage, such as business interruption insurance, which may be responsive to the COVID-19 crisis. In the absence of such coverage, business owners will need to consider a number of options to preserve the viability of their business, including:
1. Labour and employment considerations – such as the potential need to reduce payroll
costs. Please contact our labour and employment group for more information on this
topic;
2. Financing options – including the availability of loans from federal or provincial
governments or banks to assist with immediate cash flow obligations;
3. Contractual relief options – including the availability of any applicable force majeure
provisions, or possible similar arguments at common law. See our recent blogs on force
majeure clauses; and
4. Government relief and subsidies – such as those relating to employee subsidies. Our
labour and employment group would be happy to discuss any questions you may have on
this topic.
Please contact our business team if you have any questions about this article or wish to discuss your business’s options for mitigating its risks in response to the COVID-19 emergency. Our

Council Meeting
Council Date: 20 Apr 2020
To: Mayor and Members of Council
Prepared By: Candice Doiron

Department: Clerks
Subject/Title: Appointment of temporary Municipal By-law Enforcement Officers - COVID-19 Pandemic
Recommendation:
That Council receive staff report regarding Appointment of temporary Municipal By-law Enforcement Officers during COVID-19 Pandemic; and further
That Council approve the execution of a By-law to appoint temporary Municipal Law Enforcement Officers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Background/Purpose:
On March 17, 2020, our government declared a provincial emergency through the authority granted under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA). Since this declaration, several emergency orders have been made under the Act to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure that essential services continue to be provided and Ontarian's are supported.
Analysis/Comments:
Previously, only police officers and constables who have been appointed under an Act have the ability to enforce orders made under the EMCPA. Due to COVID-19, police resources are being stretched and police services have made requests to have other enforcement personnel assist with enforcing the emergency orders being made by the province. As a result, our government signed a ministerial designation under the Provincial Offences Act to authorize the following personnel to enforce EMCPA orders:
Page 23 of 28
• All persons or classes of persons designated in writing by a minister of the Crown as provincial offences officers, notwithstanding the offence or class of offences of that designation;
• All municipal law enforcement officers referred to in subsection 101 (4) of the Municipal Act, 2001;
• All by-law enforcement officers of any municipality, or of any local board of any municipality; and
• All officers, employees or agents of any municipality or of any local board of any municipality whose responsibilities include the enforcement of a by-law, an Act or a regulation under an Act.
The Province has acknowledged that are no further provincial approvals or authorizations needed for municipal law enforcement officers to enforce orders under the EMCPA.
Municipalities should continue to consider the severity of each infraction in relation to the potential risk to public health and the spread of COVID-19 when taking enforcement action. Consistent with existing enforcement approaches, consideration should continue to be given to taking a graduated approach to compliance. This could include providing educational messaging or warnings to members of the public around the emergency orders and, if compliance is not obtained, the issuance of a ticket under the Provincial Offences Act or a summons under Part 3 of the Act.
To assist Municipal Law Enforcement Officers, there is a dedicated 1-800 hot line for staff to respond to questions related to enforcing these orders.
Staff’s recommendation is to pass a temporary by-law to appoint additional Municipal Law Enforcement Officers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
