B.C. Premier John Horgan says his government is looking to follow Quebec's lead and put in rules banning protests at hospitals, schools and COVID-19 vaccination or testing sites.

Horgan says attorney general David Eby and solicitor general Mike Farnworth are currently working on legislation or perhaps policy changes to existing regulations to protect workers and those that are accessing essential services.

The Quebec bill, if passed, would stop protests within 50 metres of schools, daycares, hospitals, clinics, COVID-19 vaccination sites and testing centres.

If passed, the law would punish anyone who takes part in these kinds of protests or help organize them with fines ranging from $1,000 to $6,000.

The penalties double if someone threatens or intimidates a person who is going to, trying to gain access or leaving.
