Acknowledgments Delivering a book in less than eight weeks from start to finish, par-ticularly during and in response to a global pandemic, cannot be achieved without the support and generosity of many people. First and foremost, we thank our stellar roster of contributors, who without exception willingly gave of their time and expertise and graciously accepted strict deadlines at a time of serious personal and professional challenges. We and our readers are indebted to you. Thanks also to our research assistants from the University of Ottawa Centre for Health Law, Policy and Ethics and the University of Ottawa Public Law Centre for their superb support: Arianne Kent, Émilie Hogue, and Amber Miller. We are also very thankful to JD candi- date Kelli White, Adjunct Professor Bryan Thomas, and Visiting Fellow Stephen Bindman for their insights, edits, and deft management of the many moving parts needed to make this expedited book a reality. We are grateful for the support of the University of Ottawa’s Associate Vice-President, Research, Promotion and Development Martine Lagacé, and for financial assistance from the Office of the Vice-President, Research, and Faculty of Law Deans Adam Dodek (Common Law Section). Their financial support made it possible for this book to be accessible to all. And many thanks to the terrific staff at the University of Ottawa Press, led by Lara Mainville, especially Maryse Cloutier and Clémence Labasse, who agreed to move heaven and earth to publish this book in record time.
