I'm, I'm, I'm deeply sorry for anyone who was inappropriately subjected to, um, discrimination as a result of their vaccine status. I'm deeply sorry for any government employee that was fired from their job because of their vaccine status, and I

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=32) As for the amnesty, I have to get some legal advice on that.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=35) Um, and so I've already asked my staff to, um, to, to request that advice so I can see how we would be able to proceed on that.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=43) My view has been that these were, um, political decisions that were made, and so I think that they could be political decisions to offer a reversal.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=50) But I, I do wanna get some, some legal advice on that first.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=53) Would that also have to do with the timeline for your proposed amnesties?

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2pMTlX1V7XSI/en/apology-for-vaccine-discrimination-and-update-on-covid-amnesty?t=57) Um, I, I, I would have to see. You know, if I can, if I can do it right, I would do it at the earliest opportunity. So I'm, I'm hoping within the next, within the next week I'll get that legal advice.
