The Commons yesterday by a 205 to 114 vote rejected a private Conservative bill prohibiting any revival of federal Covid-19 vaccine mandates. The last mandates expired October 1, 2022.

“This bill targets the unreasonable overreaches of the federal policy and unjustified abuses of federal government power,” said Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre, author of Bill C-278. “The bill targets these overreaches and abuses of power.”
