Alberta is calling on the federal government to revoke its proof of vaccination mandate for air travellers.

On March 16, members of Alberta’s legislative assembly voted in favour of a motion to recognize that Canada’s current air travel restrictions “have no measurable public health benefit and continue to impact hundreds of thousands of jobs in the air travel and tourism sectors.”
