Crown prosecutors are asking for two years of jail time for a Saskatchewan man who kept his daughter away from her mother to prevent the child from getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

Crown prosecutors told the court they wanted to send a message with the sentencing of two years’ jail time, three years of probation, and 200 hours of community service, according to local media reports.
