Mr. Chair, Ms. Lantsman in January claimed that the vaccine mandate at our borders would lead to food shortages and empty shelves at our grocery stores. She was wrong. In May, she claimed that the transportation vaccine mandate was causing the congestion, and if we stopped it, it would solve the congestion problem. Once again she was wrong. So I can tell you...please forgive me if I'm skeptical about her assessment.
ArriveCAN is not contributing to the congestion. In fact, ArriveCAN is a useful tool that helps verify the vaccination status of an individual before they arrive at our borders. If we didn't have ArriveCAN, the processing of arrivals would take a longer time, because it would have to be done manually.
