A group of representatives have gathered to form a new caucus that seeks to challenge current COVID-19 policies with special emphasis on ending the governments’ use of province-wide lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. 

Called the End the Lockdowns National Caucus, the non-partisan group was created in response to the COVID-19 restrictions launched by governments across the country that cause “unprecedented mass violations of Canadian’s Charter Rights.”
