Quebec's vaccine passport may soon be a thing of the past, says Legault

Quebec Premier Francois Legault said there may not be a need for proof of vaccination for much longer, and that it's time to heal divisions -- also saying he doesn't want the Emergencies Act used in Quebec.
He also told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he doesn't want the federal Emergencies Act invoked in the province, he told reporters in Longueuil, Que.
As the province's COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to decline and restrictions are lifted, the need for proof of vaccination may end, he said.
"We will discuss that tonight, and the plan of [Health Minister] Christian [Dube] is to get rid of the pass as soon as we get the okay from the public health," said Legault.
Quebec eased more restrictions over the weekend and plans to eliminate almost all of them by March 14, and Legault said with the two trends in motion, he is also not concerned that major protests will continue in the province.
With the Edmonton Oilers down two goals late in the first period of Game 4, Rogers Place was quiet, fans seemingly bewildered at the early, quick scoring of the Dallas Stars and the slow start by the home team. Ryan McLeod's marker with six-and-a-half minutes in the opening frame left changed all that.
