The federal government spent more than $199 million to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates for federal employees, despite 95 percent already being vaccinated, according to records obtained through an Inquiry of Ministry.
“Measures were $85.7 million and $112.9 million in 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively,” Treasury Board President Anita Anand wrote in reference to the “Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination” for the core public administration, which included the RCMP.
