Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall says she was surprised by the media and public interest following her recent removal from Parliament Hill.

Wagantall was escorted off the grounds on June 3 for refusing to disclose whether she was vaccinated for COVID-19, in violation of a rule requiring those within the House of Commons precinct to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated.
