Provinces could make vaccination mandatory, says federal health minister

"Fifty per cent of hospitalizations now, in Quebec, are due to people not having been vaccinated," [Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos ] said. "That's a burden on health care workers, a burden on society which is very difficult to bear and for many people difficult to understand.

"That's why I'm signalling this is a conversation which I believe provinces and territories, in support with the federal government, will want to have over the next weeks and months."

Quebec has already chosen a different approach: make presentation of proof of vaccination mandatory before being allowed into various businesses, starting with liquor stores and cannabis stores.

"By limiting the places they can go, we're limiting their contacts," Dubé said, referring to the unvaccinated.

"If you don't want to get vaccinated, stay home."
