Tonight the government is introducing paid leave for COVID-19 vaccination!

This is great news and something @RachelNotley and I have called for multiple times.

Kudos to the government, I am happy to support this important legislation! #ableg https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-workers-covid-19-vaccinations-1.5997017

We first raised this in February and shared it on http://www.albertasfuture.ca 

As I said that day, "The government should be aggressively tearing down any barrier that might delay an Albertan from getting their shots.”

This change will help! #ableg https://www.albertasfuture.ca/albertas-future/covid-19-campaigns/post/call-to-give-alberta-workers-three-paid-hours-to-get-vaccinated

Yesterday @RachelNotley and I reiterated the call with a clear offer to work with the government to quickly pass legislation. This offer was received well and tonight new legislation will be introduced and hopefully quickly passed! #ableg https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/alberta-ndp-wants-province-to-offer-three-hours-paid-leave-for-vaccinations

Vaccines are safe and effective! I hope all Albertans will get their vaccine as soon as they qualify and are able. #ableg
