Party leaders focused on vaccination mandates, employee benefits, and universal pharmacare on the 13th day of the federal election campaign.
In Mississauga, Ont., on Aug. 27, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced that his party would create a $1 billion COVID-19 proof-of-vaccination fund. If provinces and territories choose to create their own vaccine passport system requiring residents to show proof of full vaccination when they visit restaurants, gyms, or other non-essential services, the Liberal government will “pay for the development and rollout of that program,” Trudeau said.
