Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen is under fire for mocking a parliamentary hearing where Canadians say they'll finally get to tell their vaccine injury stories.
The Liberals spent years blocking a full public inquiry into Canada’s pandemic response—now Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen is drawing fire for mocking an inquiry that will hear testimony from Canadians who say they suffered life-altering COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
The Kingston and the Islands MP mocked the inquiry’s name and questioned its legitimacy in a video posted online.
“This one’s called the Allison Inquiry. He named it after himself. That just reeks of attention seeking before anything else,” Gerretsen said.
Although Gerretsen acknowledged that Canadians who suffered vaccine injuries deserve compassion and the opportunity to be heard, he argued the hearings are really about promoting Conservative grievances over vaccine mandates and the Freedom Convoy rather than uncovering facts.
