Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has no plans to expand a law protecting health care workers and patients from aggressive protests to cover politicians.
As the pandemic nears its two-year mark, politicians, frontline health care workers and patients seeking care have found themselves targeted by anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown protests.
To address that threat, the federal government worked with the opposition to pass Bill C-3, which made it an offence punishable by up to 10 years in prison to intimidate health care workers and patients trying to access medical care.
