Mr. Chair, we have essentially closed the border. In fact, we've seen a 99% reduction in air travellers arriving in Canada from any international jurisdiction, including the United States, and equally, a very significant reduction in the number of people crossing our borders. It is also terribly important that we maintain essential supply lines and the movement of essential workers back and forth across our border. We have imposed very strict restrictions to eliminate all non-essential travel, but we also recognize the importance of the essential movement of trades and goods and essential workers back and forth across that border. We've worked very collaboratively with the United States to ensure that happens, to keep our economy moving and to serve all Canadians.
