B.C.B次元官网网址檚 solicitor general says the injunction against a Hope restaurant sends a strong message to other businesses who may be watching.

B次元官网网址淭hat is a very serious matter and you ignore it at your peril,B次元官网网址� Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General of British Columbia said Thursday afternoon.

RollyB次元官网网址檚 Restaurant in Hope had been in non-compliance with Fraser Health since a closure order was served on Oct. 7. They have been opening the doors anyway, and continuing to ignore the public health order that requires some restaurants to ask for vaccine passports.

The BC Supreme Court agreed with Fraser Health earlier on Thursday, and granted an injunction, which will give more teeth to the original closure order. In particular, it means RCMP can arrest anyone attempting to re-open the business.

Farnworth said there are B次元官网网址渧ery serious chargesB次元官网网址� for those who defy court injunctions.

B次元官网网址淚 fully expect RollyB次元官网网址檚 Restaurant to comply with the injunction,B次元官网网址� he added.

While he said the vast majority are B次元官网网址渄oing the right thing,B次元官网网址� and following the public health orders, the government is aware that others are not.

B次元官网网址淭his sends a message that this is the enforcement that can take place,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭his can have a serious impact financially on your business.B次元官网网址�

In addition, he said that ignoring the orders potentially puts people at risk, and contributes to problems in the healthcare system.
