Unfortunately, it was incorrectly reported. When you asked me the question, suggesting that a national interest exemption had been granted in that case, it wasn't true. It was, in fact, a decision made by the border services officer. I wonder if the president of CBSA, John Ossowski, can talk a bit about the direction he gave to his officers in response to that case.
On November 2nd, 2020. See this statement in context.
