> it is contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

As far as I'm aware, an individual's rights to "life, liberty and security of the person" are not absolute. Whether it is a violation of the charter is a balance between the impact of the limitation (e.g. vaccine passport) vs. the impact of not imposing the limitation (e.g. higher ICU counts or whatever). The more arbitrary or severe the limitation, the more risk must be mitigated to justify the limitation.
