As calls mount from businesses, experts and municipalities, Ontario doesn’t appear willing to budge on vaccine certificates or mandatory shots for health workers.
Deputy Premier and Health Minister CHRISTINE ELLIOTT held the line for the government at an unrelated press conference Tuesday — where she again ruled out vaccine mandates and insisted the province’s paper receipt is “sufficient proof.”
“There’s a lot of work that still needs to be done” on a potential “smart card” proof, including on fraud protection, the minister told reporters. “In the meantime, people do have their proof of vaccination” with the second-dose receipt.
Dr. KIERAN MOORE stamped out any hope of a passport in-the-works, telling reporters later on that “the government at present has not been reviewing any passport for internal purposes.”
