OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces will press ahead with the forced expulsion of dozens of unvaccinated troops despite a new order from defence chief Gen.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Eyre said service members are expected to follow legal orders — and that a repeated refusal by some troops to get their shots “raises questions about your suitability to serve in uniform.”
The defence chief’s new order includes a list of those who will still need two doses of a Health Canada-approved vaccine, with an emphasis on quick-response units such as special forces and the disaster assistance response team. “The medical advice is continuing to evolve,” he said. “What is the bare minimum that’s required to protect the force, to protect operational output, while at the same time respecting the individual decisions that members want to make.”
The Defence Department says about 300 service members have been told to hang up their uniforms, while another 100 have left voluntarily. Disciplinary proceedings, including warnings and marks on personal files, have been doled out to hundreds more. The statement did not say anything about Eyre’s decision to maintain vaccine requirements for certain personnel, and the Conservatives declined to provide additional comment.
“The CDS would be unable to credibly distinguish between the two groups. The sole distinguishing feature is that the administration of the process for some went quicker than for others.”
