Quebec’s vaccine passport system was in place between September 2021 and mid-March of this year
to access a lengthy list of businesses and venues the government deemed non-essential, including entertainment and performance centres, gyms, bars, places of worship and restaurants.
UPAC says there are 41 active investigations into false documents, adding that three people have been criminally charged. Gaudreau says producing false vaccine passports is a serious offence. People who work for the legislature or in the civil service are “people who society, the population has confidence in,” he told a news conference in Quebec City.The problem of people using false documents to claim they’re vaccinated when they aren’t presents “an important public health issue,” he said.
Overall, UPAC had a busy fiscal year, with a 139 per cent rise compared with the previous fiscal year in the number of complaints or calls, he said.
