The Canadian Parliament voted 202 to 117 on Monday to uphold Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's COVID vaccine mandate for air, train and sea travelers across the country.
Besides one independent MP voting alongside Lantsman, all the other 115 "Yea" votes came from her fellow Conservative Party members.
All 202 "Nay" votes came from the Liberal Party, the New Democratic Party, and the Bloc Quebecois, indicating that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is fulfilling his promise to Trudeau that his party will back the Liberals until the next election in 2025.
At the time of publication, the "Unofficial" voting record shows that Conservative Party of Canada leadership frontrunner candidate Pierre Poilievre did not cast a vote; however, pro-life leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis did vote alongside her party in support of ending the measure, which effectively makes it impossible for unvaccinated Canadians to leave the country.
While the vote does mean that the ban, which requires all Canadians wishing to travel by plane or train to be "Fully vaccinated" against the highly survivable coronavirus - which can also be contracted and spread by "Vaccinated" individuals - will still be in effect for the time being, Trudeau's government is still set to have to defend the mandate in federal court this fall.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, on September 17 Trudeau's federal government will have to defend the constitutionality of his government's vaccine mandate against Brian A. Peckford, the last living drafter and signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms found in the nation's 1982 Constitution.
"Courts around the world have found that governments must respect fundamental human rights, including the right to bodily autonomy, which means individuals have the right to decide freely on what medical treatment they wish to receive," the lawyer added.
