Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said this week that they oppose Quebec’s planned financial penalty on those who are not vaccinated against COVID-19, citing the need to preserve the universality of the health-care system.
“Our health-care system is universal, it’s for everybody, and I think it’s unjust to target a small number of Canadians with such a measure,” O’Toole said at a press conference on Jan. 17 in Ottawa.
