However, if the premier did have his son and daughter-in-law over for Christmas dinner and then let the entire world know about it, there's probably nothing Solicitor General Mike Farnworth or Attorney General David Eby would do about it.
That's because most of B.C.'s public health orders focus on regulating the activities of businesses and organizations rather than private households.
The province has orders around gatherings and events, food and liquor serving premises and mask mandates in indoor public spaces. These cover all sorts of activities, including sports, gyms and recreation facilities, restaurants and bars, and many other places.
The only exception is in the gathering and events health order. It says people can't hold "an event at a private residence," unless it meets certain exceptions, none of which seem to apply to the Horgan household.
They have a link posted to a
Gatherings of Events. So from reading this pdf, page 7, A) - 2 - 6: "Despite sections 1,3 and 4, if the two persons referred to in section 5 regularly interact with one another, as well as with the occupant, they may be present for social purposes at the same time in the private residence or vacation accommodation of the occupant"
As I said in a previous post, I interact with my parents every other day to pick up my dog after work.
Their guidelines have you jumping back and forth and at the end I give up and fall back to that specific line on 2-6.
Really wish they'd make things a lot easier - If you don't live there, don't go. No ifs ands or buts.
