The Prime Minister, François Legault, now says he wants to remove it “as soon as possible”, provided that he obtains the approval of his scientists to “not take uncalculated risks with the situation in hospitals”.

Bringing Quebecers together

But that has nothing to do with the demonstrations in Ottawa and at border crossings in several places across the country, where participants are calling for the lifting of sanitary measures, he added.
“There are a lot of Quebecers who are fed up with the measures, there are some who contest, and we have the right in Quebec to demonstrate, to say that we do not agree with some, but to make a siege , to prevent workers from going to work, that is unacceptable,” reiterated the CAQ leader.
On Saturday, “Le Journal de Québec” reported that the Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, might announce on Tuesday that the vaccine passport would no longer be compulsory in big box stores, then a week later in the surfaces of the SAQ and of the SQDC.
