Sira noted the government felt “entitled to restrict our Constitutional freedom of movement for our safety”, because COVID-19 was a transmissible disease. “As such, restrictions are a function of infection and the rate at which spread increases.” “Today, we learn that the metrics have changed and suddenly the Saskatchewan Government has crossed into uncharted territory,” Sira stated. “Restrictions are now a function of vaccination rate. This is illegal and unethical.” He noted illness and infection rates were about to drop to nominal seasonal norms. “However, we learned today that restrictions will not be lifted in spite of the science unless new vaccination measures are achieved. It is not legal for the Government to restrict our freedom or movement based on a medical procedure! We appreciate the government “hoping” to see a 70% vaccination rate but it is inappropriate legally for them to require it.”
