Both Ontario NDP and Liberals will be introducing bills to create safety zones around hospitals and schools to protect from anti-vaccine harassment.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says health care workers shouldn’t have to worry about “walking a gauntlet of hate and vitriol” on their way to work and save lives.

Solicitor General Sylvia Jones says Ontario has seen a limited number of protests and workers haven’t been blocked from getting into work.

Jones adding she will look at all bills which get tabled but noted threatening and intimidation are already criminal offenses.
