though he has years of experience in
0:15
child care dan hill’s future in the
0:17
field is no longer certain it’s getting
0:19
harder to find jobs it’s getting harder
0:21
to
0:22
do anything hill is unvaccinated against

0:27
hesitant after having bad reactions to
0:30
medication in the past he hasn’t yet
0:32
talked to his doctor about whether or
0:34
not he qualifies for a medical exemption
0:36
health canada lists things like
0:37
allergies and heart inflammation as
0:39
acceptable exemptions i’m not in those
0:41
categories i’m one that’s going to fall
0:43
through the cracks
0:45
because there is health things but it’s
0:48
not health things that i would get
0:49
exempted for he’s up for a job in
0:51
fredericton with an interview lined up
0:53
for friday but new brunswick’s workplace
0:55
vaccination rules put hill’s candidacy
0:58
in jeopardy and now the prime minister’s

1:13
position i mean it could it may be seen
1:16
as a violation of rights but i mean the
1:18
court or the tribunal can uh go a second
1:21
step and say is this justified in order
1:24
to protect like the greater good is this
1:27
a justified violation and um i would
1:30
suspect that the answer would be yes
1:32
walker says a lot of legal consultation
1:35
goes into government decisions like this
1:36
and anyone feeling they have a valid
1:38
reason to remain unvaccinated has to be
1:41
prepared to provide thorough proof
