Thank you doctor for that response. I'll just leave it open-ended, sir. Following your appearance today, if you or your staff find that there are documents that you believe would be helpful in informing the committee and Canadians with respect to that decision-making process and that may get into a bit more granular detail, I'd very much invite you to submit those to the committee.
Testing requirements for incoming international travel remain in place more than two years into the pandemic. This has created pretty serious bottlenecks at Canada's largest airports, including significant aircraft holds at the gate and delays offloading passengers. This worsens Canada's ability to attract tourists, which has downstream impacts on trade and investment relationships with other countries, our allies and partners.
What is the Public Health Agency of Canada doing to update or remove legacy processes at the border, including international arrival testing, to ensure that these backlogs do not occur during the peak summer tourist season and beyond? We're certainly seeing those backlogs right now.
