COVID restrictions relaxed, G7 wraps up, Vaccine passports | The National for June 13, 2021

Parts of Canada revel in loosened COVID-19 restrictions as provinces push to get the last few residents to roll up their sleeves. Trudeau and G7 leaders make big promises on global vaccine sharing and climate change. Plus, the debate over vaccine passports.

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story included an interview with two people claiming they were eyewitnesses to the incident that led to the death of RCMP Const. Shelby Patton.

CBC interviewed the couple at the site of the collision in Wolseley, Sask. They told CBC News details of the events they claimed to witness from their apartment overlooking the scene. The couple expressed shock and emotion at what they say they had witnessed.

At that time, we had no reason to doubt their story.

The RCMP contacted CBC after investigators interviewed the couple, indicating their information showed that the couple's story was false. CBC News contacted the two people, who then admitted they had fabricated the story they told to our reporter.

We have removed their account from this broadcast.
