An Act to prevent the imposition by the federal government of vaccination mandates for employment and travel

Bill C-278 in 44-1 was a Conservative Private Member's Bill to prevent the imposition by the federal government of mandatory vaccination, vaccine passports, or vaccine-related employment requirements on Canadians. Brought after the federal Liberal government's 2021-2022 vaccine-mandate policies for federally regulated workers (federal public service, transportation, telecommunications), the cross-border vaccination requirement (in force November 2021 to October 2022), and the September 2021 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 7 (life, liberty, security) challenges by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. The bill drew widespread CPC support and Bloc-NDP opposition. Did not pass second reading. The federal-jurisdiction vaccine-mandate framework was wound down in 2022 with the lifting of cross-border requirements.
