Canadians will shortly receive federal guidance around what they can, and can t do safely after their first and second COVID-19 shots, according to Health Minister Patty Hajdu. Hajdu also said domestic vaccine passports aren t going to be something the federal government pursues.
OTTAWA, Ont. (CTV Network) OTTAWA Canadians will “shortly” receive federal guidance around what they can, and can’t do safely after their first and second COVID-19 shots, according to Health Minister Patty Hajdu.
Facing questions about why Canada has yet to offer any formal guidance to people who have been vaccinated about what degree of risk they have in certain circumstances in the way the United States has, Hajdu said it’s in the works.
“We are working with provinces and territories to understand their own epidemiology… It’s the percentage of Canadians that are vaccinated, and it’s the extent of disease that’s being transmitted in communities. We will have guidance out for Canadians very shortly about what they can do with one dose or two doses of the vaccine,” said Hajdu in an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CTV’s Question Period.

OTTAWA Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan told CTV News Channel’s Power Play on Thursday a newly-announced second review into military misconduct is not a delay or a way to evade responsibility. Former Supreme Court Justice Louise Arbour will head up that report. In 2015 former Supreme Court Justice Marie Deschamps completed a 100-page report into misconduct in the military. That report made of a number of recommendations, including an independent body for reporting misconduct. Watch Sajjan explain why the government is moving forward with a second report in the video above.

OTTAWA The Conservatives are questioning the prime minister’s assertion that his office was unaware a misconduct allegation brought forward in 2018 against the former defence chief was sexual in nature, once again reigniting criticism of how the report was handled. After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday his staff didn’t know the allegation against Gen. Jonathan Vance was a “Me Too complaint,” the opposition is pushing for his chief of staff Katie Telford to appear before the House of Commons’ national defence committee to detail her account of how the events unfolded in March 2018. It comes as new documents tabled in the House of Commons responding to an order paper question posed by Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant show Operation Honour recorded 581 incidents of sexual assault and 221 cases of sexual harassment between April 1, 2016 and March 9, 2021.
