A petition calling for the reinstatement of public servants who lost their jobs due to their personal choice regarding COVID-19 vaccination was initiated on the House of Commons website on March 3, sponsored by Conservative MP Jeremy Patzer.

The petition states that the vaccine mandate imposed on the public service and federally regulated workplaces has “resulted in public servants being coerced to choose between providing private medical information to their employer and accept two doses of an emergency use authorized COVID-19 injection, or losing their pay, benefits, earned leave credits, etc.”
