OTTAWA—Military veteran James Topp, who has almost completed his walk from Vancouver to Ottawa to protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates, was in Ottawa on Wednesday to meet with MPs.

So far, Topp’s journey has taken him to Deep River, about 200 kilometres west of Ottawa. He drove to the capital for the meeting with MPs before the House of Commons goes on summer break on June 23.
