OTTAWA—A Conservative MP who refuses to disclose her vaccination status tried to access the House of Commons precinct after a COVID−19 vaccination mandate was imposed last year and was required to leave.

Cathay Wagantall, who represents the Yorkton−Melville riding in Saskatchewan, told a news conference on Parliament Hill that she was informed she would have to leave the House of Commons.
