Legal Organization Calls on Ontario to Revoke ‘Unconstitutional’ Vaccine Passport Mandate
A legal organization is calling on the Ontario government to revoke its vaccine passport mandate, citing “deep concerns” about the constitutionality of the measure.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms issued a letter (pdf) Sept. 22, demanding the government rescind the mandate, which requires Ontarians aged 12 and above to show proof of having taken two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in order to access a wide range of public facilities such as restaurants, bars, gyms, music venues, theatres and meeting spaces. The system came into effect on Sept. 22.
