CANADA – Trudeau gov’t considers requiring COVID booster shots for federal employees
While the provinces have rescinded their vaccine mandates and most of their other so-called COVID policies, it was reported last week that the Trudeau government is “reviewing” its mandates, which includes a discussion about whether or not the policy should be expanded to require a third dose of the experimental COVID as a condition of employment with the federal government.
According to Mona Fortier, president of the Treasury Board, “Any decisions will be based on science and the advice of public health officials,” including a reconsideration of what it means to be “fully vaccinated.”
President Chris Aylward of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, a union that represents over 200,000 government employees, said, “I have no idea what that renewed policy might look like,” suggesting his members have been left in the dark about the government’s plans.
