The Conservative Party has introduced a motion to end all federal vaccine mandates, including the ability for Canadians to travel without proof of vaccination.

Tory MP Michael Barrett, who brought forward the motion in the House of Commons on March 24, said the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates have continued to keep Canada locked down, prevented Canadians from visiting their families, and worsened mental health for residents, noting many provinces across the county have already lifted these public health restrictions.
