You get tested every day, and if you pass negative for 2 weeks, you can go about your way. If you test positive, you go to a more isolated quarantine facility. Eventually, relax this for certain countries like Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. Let those people quarantine at home. Yes some will break the quarantine, but the risk is lower.

Don't want to do this? Don't go to Canada. Are you a Canadian trying to get home and don't want to do this? Too bad, you shouldn't be traveling during a pandemic. Did you REALLY need to travel? Then be sure to account for a 2 week ACTUAL quarantine.

Canada implemented this sort of mandatory hotel stay period back in February (at the traveller's cost), they just need to stay in the hotel until they receive a negative molecular test, then they must carry out the rest of the 2 week quarantine at their end destination.
