Apology for Vaccine Discrimination and Update on COVID Amnesty

During your campaign, you said that not only would you issue an apology to those prosecuted during COVID restrictions, but you would also grant them amnesty.

When can we expect those apologies? Um, I can apologize right now. 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

welcome them back if they want to come back.

As for the amnesty, I have to get some legal advice on that.

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.

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.

But I, I do wanna get some, some legal advice on that first.

Would that also have to do with the timeline for your proposed amnesties?

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.

Thank you. Thank you.
