Federal Conservatives call for suspension of mandatory hotel quarantine after media report sexual assaults
Three federal Conservative shadow ministers called Wednesday night for the governing Liberals to suspend mandatory hotel quarantine for arriving international travellers after news media reported an alleged sexual assault at such a hotel.
“We are deeply angered to hear reports of sexual violence are happening during federally mandated quarantines by those supposed to be protecting public health … We call for the Liberals to suspend the hotel quarantine requirement until they have put measures in place to ensure the safety of Canadians,” read part of a statement from Michelle Rempel Garner, Shannon Stubbs and Jag Sahota.
