It is somewhat counterproductive to alienate millions of unvaccinated Canadians with more and more restrictive mandates,’ said Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Stephen Ellis.
(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian politician has blasted Canada’s federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the segregation of “millions of unvaccinated Canadians” with continued restrictive COVID mandates.
“It is somewhat counterproductive to alienate millions of unvaccinated Canadians with more and more restrictive mandates,” said Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Stephen Ellis on December 3 during a debate in the House of Commons. “Unfortunately, we do hear from them over and over that they are losing their jobs, they are losing their pensions, they are concerned about losing their house and how they are going to provide for their family. Those are not the types of policies that are going to help us fix this situation.”
Ellis is a medical doctor and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force for nine years. He is now the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Nova Scotia riding of Cumberland–Colchester.
His remarks were made during a debate about Trudeau’s new Bill C-3 which would amend Canada’s criminal code to in effect ban anyone protesting outside a hospital or clinic with a penalty of up to 10 years in jail.
Specifically, Bill C-3 would bar anyone trying to prevent a doctor or nurse “in the performance of their duties” or “intentionally obstruct or interfere with another person’s lawful access” to a hospital or clinic. It would be up to law enforcement to decide what constitutes interference.
Bill C-3 was introduced to the House of Commons by Minister of Labour Seamus O’Regan on November 26 and is now going through second reading.
During the second reading debate about Bill C-3 on December 3, Ellis remarked that he had “watched the news the other day” and heard “one pastor say that unfortunately there are people out there who are going to dig their heels in all the way to their necks.”
“We need to support the right to lawful association and for the right to express alternate opinions. As we will likely see in debates coming up in this House in the future, we know that free speech needs to be defended,” added Ellis.
