I remember that the national president of the Customs and Immigration Union, Mr. Jean-Pierre Fortin, was a bit exasperated by the situation. He said that Canada Border Services Agency officers were being left to their own devices and that they were obviously not consulted before orders in council were issued, including this famous order in council that has been renewed every month since March 2020.
Why not be transparent and inform us of your long-term plan on border closures, instead of renewing this decree every time at the last minute?
The Premier of Quebec, Mr. Legault, said just this week that it was important to keep the border closed. The burden is quite heavy for provinces that receive a lot of migrants through official ports of entry.
What is the long-term plan? Are you going to keep the border closed for several more months? I think it would be necessary to do so. Canadians and Quebeckers would also need to know a little more about it.
