Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says his caucus has accepted a requirement that members of Parliament be vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a medical exemption to sit in the House of Commons.
But he dodged multiple questions from reporters about what will happen with his MPs who are not vaccinated.
An all-party committee that governs how the House of Commons operates decided last week to make vaccines mandatory for everyone entering the House precinct who doesn't have a medical exemption.
O'Toole says only the House of Commons itself, not the board of internal economy, can determine its composition or conduct and he plans to challenge that ruling.
