Justice Centre warns federal government it is illegally denying EI benefits based on vaccine status

JCCF: 'The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has warned the federal minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability, Carla Qualtrough, that the government is acting illegally and violating Charter rights by denying EI benefits to Canadians fired from their jobs for refusing a Covid shot.


'On October 21, 2021, Ms. Qualtrough gave a media interview stating that in her view, Canadians fired or suspended from their employment for refusing the Covid injections should not be able to receive Employment Insurance.


'Service Canada, which administers EI, and the Canada Employment Insurance Commission (the “Commission”) are insisting that unvaccinated employees have been suspended as a result of their own “misconduct”. As a result, Canadians who have paid into employment insurance benefits, sometimes for their whole lifetime, are being denied those benefits.


'From the perspective of terminated employees, with the rollout of the Covid vaccines in 2021, numerous employers, including the Government of Canada, attempted to dictate the personal medical choices of their employees by requiring them to take these recently developed shots. Employees who did not comply with these demands were placed on involuntary leave without pay or fired. These are employees who in many cases served on the front lines of Canada’s service, industry and health care sectors.'
