Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre rises during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre rose in the House of Commons Wednesday to urge other MPs to adopt legislation that would prohibit Ottawa from again imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates on federal workers and the travelling public.
"He divided, insulted and name-called millions of people right across this country who are patriotic, law-abiding, decent people," Poilievre said of the government's now-defunct vaccine mandate policy. There hasn't been a COVID-19-related mandate in place since last year, when Ottawa dismantled its regime as the virus became more manageable., employees who had been placed on leave without pay had a chance to return to their regular work duties.Poilievre said he supports "bodily autonomy" and believes all Canadians can decide for themselves what they put in their own bodies.agreed with that position.
The Liberal government has long defended its vaccine mandate policy as a suite of measures designed to keep people safe from a deadly virus. More than 50,000 Canadians have died of COVID-19, according to public health data. "Contrary to what the Conservative Party tries to espouse, vaccinations worked. Vaccinations made a difference," he said during debate on the bill Tuesday.
While agreeing with the Conservatives' claim that Trudeau and the Liberals "politicized" Canada's pandemic response, Davies said passing this legislation could tie the hands of the government if COVID-19 returns as a pressing public health threat.
