The federal government suspended its vaccine requirement for those who work in the public service in June 2022, but is nonetheless facing legal action over the measure at home as well as abroad, with a former employee of the Canadian Embassy in Poland seeking compensation over how she was treated.
“The vaccine mandate was truly unfortunate for Canadians but of no relevance whatsoever for Polish staff of the embassy. Any actions resulting from it towards Polish citizens like myself are illegal, and that is why I went to court," Karolina Janiak said in an interview.
