Public health experts and the head of Quebec's largest business group say the province's reopening plan should be based around vaccination rates.

Karl Blackburn, president and CEO of the Conseil du patronat du Quebec, the province's largest employer's group, said his members want a predictable plan that will allow them to prepare. Blackburn said in an interview Friday he prefers a plan that is based on specific targets -- rather than specific dates -- because the situation could change.

Saskatchewan's so-called "Re-Opening Roadmap" is pegged to the population's immunization levels: as the rate increases, more activities are permitted. Tying the reopening to vaccination rates is also a good idea, he said, because it will encourage people of all age groups to get vaccinated. He said incentivizing people to get vaccinated is important because as more vulnerable people are protected -- and the number of deaths and hospitalizations decline -- others may become less motivated to get vaccinated.

The reopening plan introduced in the United Kingdom -- on which Saskatchewan's was based -- moved more slowly than the province's, Neudorf said. Meanwhile, a contingency plan has been put in place at a Quebec City jail where 20 employees have active cases of COVID-19. As of Friday, three inmates at the detention centre had also tested positive for the disease.

False experts, they should read the Canadian Charters of rights and freedoms, instead of humiliating themselves and trying to make choices for others.

Their bonuses depend on rates obviously. Corrupted world!

No way..Vaccine not acceptable..
