The Conservative Party is protesting a new mandatory vaccination policy that would ban members of parliament who aren’t fully vaccinated from entering the House of Commons’ precinct when Parliament resumes on Nov. 22.
The federal Conservatives voiced their protest in a statement after the House of Commons governing body announced the new rules on Oct. 19, requiring MPs and their staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to be allowed into the chambers. Individuals with medical exemptions who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccine can instead provide proof of a recent negative COVID-19 rapid test result.
