Airlines front & center in new Quarantine Act

I thought this part of note:
Under the proposed Act, conveyance owners would be required to report an illness or the death of a passenger before arrival or departure. It would also provide the Minister of Health with additional powers to, for example:
appoint Screening Officers, Quarantine Officers, and Environmental Assessment Officers;
establish quarantine facilities at any location in Canada;
take temporary possession of premises to use as a detention facility if necessary; and
divert conveyances (e.g., airlines, cargo ships) to alternate landing sites.
