In a recent development, the Fraser Health Authority has formally requested additional specifics regarding my human rights class complaint. Their inquiry underscores the need for a clearer understanding of the allegations I've raised against their mask policy, particularly concerning high-risk individuals for severe COVID-19. Key points from their request include:

  • Verification if the representative complainant directly belongs to the impacted class.

  • Details about any disabilities that qualify individuals as high-risk and how the policy specifically discriminates against these conditions.

  • Instances where individuals were advised against wearing N95 masks within Fraser Health facilities, including any requests for accommodations.

  • Clarification on the exact policy or directive that is alleged to prohibit N95 masks for patients and visitors.
