Not gonna happen.. 'cuz they justify it the action like this:

"Due to the urgency of the pandemic, (PHAC) collected and used  
mobility data, such as cell-tower location data, throughout the  
COVID-19 response," a spokesperson told National Post.

"In March, the Agency awarded a contract to the Telus Data For  
Good program to provide "de-identified and aggregated data" of  
movement trends in Canada. The contract expired in October, and  
PHAC no longer has access to the location data, the  
spokesperson said."
