And going back to the commercial - you'll soon start to see it on your social media and TV, but as we said, it shows a group of you people going to a social gathering and presenting their vaccination card as a way to get in.
But does this mean that fully vaxxed persons can host and attend social gatherings? Absolutely not - it is against the current COVID regulations. So why include it in the commercial? We asked the head table about this.
Hon. Michel Chebat, Minister of Health & Wellness
"The idea behind the commercial is we wanted to reach out to the young people who we feel are the ones who are out there and partying and so on. So, the idea was to try to sensitize them to the importance of getting vaccinated and that is the whole concept behind it as you saw everybody had to present a vaccination card and at every different site it reflected a vaccination card and so that was the concept behind it."

"The cost of this campaign, was that on the budget before or another supplementary will be?"
Hon. Michel Chebat, Minister of Health & Wellness
"Part of our Covid budget which was allocated in April."
We note that 66 minutes of today's event was spent focussing on ceremony and the press - was only allowed to ask a total of two questions with no follow up's for a mere 22 minutes.
After all that, Minister Chebat gave the press a three minute interview and we'll have that later in the news.
