Test of Faith
Among those compelled to question, a distinction may be made between those whose faith stands affirmed and those whose faith does not.
All means need not be evil that may lead to evil ends.

"the coincidence of Passover and Easter, which occurs this year as in many others, also demarks the irreconcilable theological difference between Judaism and Christianity, the religion of the vast majority of American blacks. Jesus is either a Jewish reformer or the son of God, father of a new faith. No amount of ecumenical goodwill can bridge the chasm."

“This isn’t about churches attempting to be rebellious. Rather, these are religious institutions attempting to do what they do best, which is to provide spiritual comfort to people who are living through difficult times,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author of Battlefield America: The War on the American People. “The government shouldn’t be in the business of micromanaging churches. This establishes a dangerous precedent that will come back to haunt us. At a minimum, if bars and businesses can be trusted to operate responsibly, churches should be treated the same.”

Human intervention may disrupt an otherwise equitable distribution of suffering.
"Before the 20th century, polio infections were rarely seen in infants before six months of age, most cases occurring in children six months to four years of age. Poorer sanitation of the time resulted in a constant exposure to the virus, which enhanced a natural immunity within the population. In developed countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, improvements were made in community sanitation, including better sewage disposal and clean water supplies. These changes drastically increased the proportion of children and adults at risk of paralytic polio infection, by reducing childhood exposure and immunity to the disease.[141]"

"The recently released NSCAI document is a May 2019 presentation entitled “Chinese Tech Landscape Overview.” Throughout the presentation, the NSCAI promotes the overhaul of the U.S. economy and way of life as necessary for allowing the U.S. to ensure it holds a considerable technological advantage over China, as losing this advantage is currently deemed a major “national security” issue by the U.S. national security apparatus. This concern about maintaining a technological advantage can be seen in several other U.S. military documents and think tank reports, several of which have warned that the U.S.’ technological advantage is quickly eroding."

With little opposition and no recorded vote, if history shows such bills in a bad light, few if any may be held to account.
"The bill to implement what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the most significant economic program since the Second World War was passed by the Commons “on division” after some six hours of speeches and debate. On division means there was some opposition among the handful of MPs in the chamber but there was no recorded vote. It was not immediately clear who objected."

By lifting the emergency order to shelter in place, and allowing the citizens of Ontario to return to work, $50 million earmarked for the Ontario Together Fund could provide remedies to shortfalls in medical and other resources, for example protection from a potentially deadly contagion for grocery store clerks.
To that end and assuming they currently exist, can you provide the conditions necessary for the emergency order being lifted?
Thank you.
