‘I’m sounding the alarm. I’m letting people know exactly that there is a treaty that could potentially affect our health care sovereignty.’
(LifeSiteNews) – Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP and leadership candidate Leslyn Lewis did not back down on speaking out against the World Health Organization’s (WHO) “pandemic treaty” after a state broadcaster journalist hounded her because she criticized the treaty two weeks ago.
“I’m sounding the alarm; I’m letting people know exactly that there is a treaty that could potentially affect our health care sovereignty. Canada needs its own pandemic plan,” said Lewis in an April 21 interview with CBC journalist Vassy Kapelos on the show “Power & Politics.”
“We need to plan the stages of how we’re going to react, the types of medication that will be approved. So, all of those things need to be done by our country, which cannot relinquish that responsibility to a global organization like the WHO.”
Lewis fought back hard against a suggestion from Kapelos that the WHO’s “pandemic treaty” is somehow a just a “theory.”
“That’s absolutely incorrect Vassy, if 190 countries are getting together to put together the framework of a treaty and working on the wording, and they have met twice already in December and in March, that is not a theory, that is actually fact,” shot back Lewis to Kapelos.
“And this is something that is happening. The WHO is proposing a global pandemic treaty and that will limit a sovereign nation’s ability to set things such as when there will be, when the borders will be closed, what kind of personal protective equipment will be used. All of these things will be contained in the treaty.”
