LSN: JCCF: 'Canada’s Federal Court has postponed the trial date for the Justice Centre’s legal challenge to strike down the government’s mandatory Covid vaccine requirements for air travellers (the “travel ban”) after the Government of Canada requested the hearing be adjourned.
'The September 19 hearing has been rescheduled to Monday, October 31.
'In October 2021, the federal government announced that anyone travelling by air, train, or ship, must receive the required number of Covid vaccines in order to travel. The travel ban prevented approximately 6 million vaccine-free Canadians (15% of Canada’s population) from travel within Canada and prevented them from flying out of Canada. Canada’s new definition for vaccination as including required boosters could double or triple the number of affected Canadians should the travel mandate be renewed in the future.'
