    Tory MP David Sweet speaks out against lockdowns

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Mar, 2021 06:18 PM
    • Tory MP David Sweet speaks out against lockdowns

    A Conservative MP has joined the chorus of voices calling for an end to COVID-19 lockdowns.

    Ontario MP David Sweet says the pandemic-related restrictions are causing huge psychological and economic damage.

    He says the public health measures should focus on vulnerable communities, not healthy individuals.

    Sweet took part in non-essential travel earlier this year and was then removed from his post as chair of a House of Commons committee. He isn't seeking re-election.

    He's not the only Conservative MP who has expressed frustration with the existing level of COVID-19 restrictions.

    Several have also spoken out against the new hotel quarantine and testing regime for incoming travellers to Canada.
