Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says while there could be a role for using apps and virtual tracking to trace coronavirus cases in Canada, those measures would likely need to be voluntary to earn public support.

He said the focus of any new tools would need to be on respecting the privacy of Canadians. Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's former privacy commissioner, joins Devon to discuss.
