New Brunswick’s new COVID-19 measures allowing grocery stores to decide whether to give access to the unvaccinated population violates fundamental human rights, says a legal organization focused on constitutional freedoms.

On Tuesday, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom sent a warning letter (pdf) to New Brunswick’s Minister of Justice and Public Safety Hugh Flemming in regard to a “revised COVID-19 mandatory order” (pdf) he signed on Dec. 4, which the legal groups said discriminates against unvaccinated people.
