The following excerpt is from M.E. et al. v. Ontario, 2019 ONSC 5138 (CanLII):

Accordingly, and having regard to the very narrow scope of the tort of invasion of privacy that has thus far been recognized in Ontario (see Jones v. Tsige, 2012 ONCA 32, [2012] O.J. No. 148), this cause of action also fails.
