Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said the province will not follow Quebec’s footsteps in imposing a financial penalty on residents who did not receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Kenney said it is unfair to make the unvaccinated pay extra even if data shows they put a greater burden on the health care system compared to the vaccinated population.
