Here is what each province has to say about vaccine passports
OTTAWA -- With the Delta variant potentially fuelling the start of a fourth wave of COVID-19 in Canada, the question remains how the provincial and federal governments will handle dealing with vaccinated and unvaccinated Canadians.
Not all provincial and territorial governments have said definitively whether they support a vaccine passport. Here is where some of them stand:In speaking to reporters on Thursday, British Columbia Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bonnie Henry said “anything is on the table” when it comes to the possibility of bringing vaccine passports to the province.
Health Minister Adrian Dix has also suggested there may be consequences for those who choose not to vaccinate, while stopping short of suggesting a vaccine passport is coming."We've been very clear from the beginning that we will not facilitate or accept vaccine passports," Kenney said during a Calgary Stampede photo-op on July 12.
The passports are also used for access to sporting events, restaurants, bars, and any business that wants to see vaccine proof before entry.Last month, Ontario Premier Doug Ford ruled out the possibility of a vaccine passport for the province.
