A Conservative-led bill that aims to prevent the introduction of future COVID-19 vaccine mandates began its second reading in Parliament on June 20.

“For those who made different personal medical choices, the government made them outcasts in their own communities, firing them from jobs, banning them from travelling, and ostracizing them from their friends,” said Conservative MP Dean Allison, who sponsored the private member’s bill.
