The union that represents 20,000 RCMP officers says it will back its members if they choose to refuse vaccination, and will help them should they face “employment consequences.”
“The [National Police Federation] supports a member’s right to choose to be vaccinated or not,” says a Sept. 23 email to members obtained by CBC News and reported on Sept. 29.
