MP Michael Barrett's motion to 'immediately lift all federal vaccine mandates,' protect the jobs of federally regulated employees and enable Canadians to travel unimpeded was defeated in a 212-117 vote.
MP Jeremy Patzer is encouraging citizens to 'add your name to this petition calling on the federal government to reinstate all employees who have lost their jobs as a result of their discriminatory vaccine mandates.'
Andrew Scheer blasted the CBC, Canada’s state-run broadcaster, as working 'overtime' in trying to 'discredit those protesting and to try to justify and cover for (Justin) Trudeau's use of the Emergency Measures Act.'
Citizens and also the premiers in a number of provinces disagree with the federal government using the Emergencies Act against the Freedom Convoy protesters.
MP Dr. Leslyn Lewis told Justin Trudeau on Wednesday in the House of Commons that the Emergencies Act should only be used in extreme circumstances and that Canadians do not believe he has exhausted all efforts to resolve the situation.
'I think the Prime Minister should think long and hard about his own history before singling out a Jewish Member of Parliament and falsely accusing me of standing with a Swastika. What a disgraceful statement unbecoming of anyone in public office,' MP Melissa Lantsman tweeted after Justin Trudeau refused to apologize for his inflammatory comments in the House of Commons.
'It becomes increasingly concerning that government is seemingly using this pandemic as a means and a cause for massive overreach into the privacy rights of Canadians,' CPC MP John Brassard said.
