EXCLUSIVE: Records show no bailouts for Alberta companies with vaccine mandates
The response to Rebel News' ATIP filing hints that companies that kept their vaccine mandate in place did so for purely ideological reasons rather than because of a financial incentive from the province.
A Rebel News access to information filing into the Alberta government returned no documents relating to payments provided to companies that imposed a vaccine requirement on employees as a work condition.
Alberta Health was asked to:
Provide copies of any documents listing any compensation/support/funding provided to companies that adopted a vaccine requirement for employees/contractors, since March 1, 2020.
On February 8, 2022, Alberta Government repealed the restriction exemption program, a vaccine passport system for so-called non-essential activities, like going to the gym or indoor dining, after truckers blocked the border between Alberta and Montana, demanding an end to restrictions.
NEW: AB Premier Jason Kenney announces plan for lifting restrictions:

The repeal of the REP left the door open for private companies to keep a vaccine mandate as a condition of employment, a policy that has cost many Albertans their jobs. The response to Rebel News' ATIP filing hints that companies that kept their vaccine mandate in place did so for purely ideological reasons rather than because of a financial incentive from the province.
The letter said:
The Alberta Health’s Office of the Chief Medical Officer, Health Workforce Planning & Accountability, Public Health and Compliance, and Health Central Records Office conducted a thorough search for records and found no responsive records related to the subject matter you requested.
Previously, Premier Jason Kenney had called the concept of a vaccine passport illegal.
