Quebec Premier François Legault has scrapped his proposed tax on the unvaccinated, sources tell CBC and Radio-Canada.
As first reported by La Presse, the premier is set to make the announcement at a press conference this afternoon, at 1 p.m.
The tax, which was announced in January by the premier, would have imposed a monetary penalty on Quebecers who did not get their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Biden nominee to be Fed’s top banking regulator requested unmasking of Michael Flynn in 2016
Senate Republicans are concerned about Sarah Bloom Raskin’s unmasking of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, the victim of a federal investigation repudiated by the Justice Department as improperly predicated.
Raskin — the wife of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), one of nine House impeachment managers for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment — was the deputy secretary of the Treasury during the Obama administration when she requested the unmasking of Flynn.
With Raskin’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee scheduled for Thursday, a Senate Republican source told Just the News that the nominee’s unmasking of Flynn is a concern of Republican senators.
Republican senators have also expressed concerns over Raskin’s comments regarding the fossil fuel industry.
While federal regulators such as the Federal Reserve were not “specifically designed to mitigate the risks of climate-related events,” Raskin wrote in September, “each has a mandate broad enough to encompass these risks within the scope of the instruments already given to it by Congress. Accordingly, all US regulators can — and should — be looking at their existing powers and considering how they might be brought to bear on efforts to mitigate climate risk.”
Noting that Raskin referred to the traditional energy industry as “a dying industry,” ranking member on the Banking Committee Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) wrote to Biden last week that she has also “insisted the Federal Reserve should specifically preclude fossil fuel companies from accessing its emergency broad-based lending facilities, which were established to help restore liquidity to businesses and save jobs when credit markets froze during the COVID pandemic.”
