Quebec's National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion Tuesday calling on the Canadian government not to apply the Emergencies Act on Quebec territory.

The government also announced Quebec will drop the vaccine passport entirely by March 14.

When asked if the government's decision was affected by recent protests against vaccine mandates, Christian Dubé, Minister of Health and Social Services, said, "We're doing it because it's the right time to do it. Because it's safe for public health," he said. "And as I said, it's there when we need it."
