Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the department officials. I'll ask you the question I really wanted to ask the minister.
I have been speaking to the minister about the charter rights of Canadians, because they have the right to freely enter and leave Canada, and all of the travel mandates are violating those rights. He indicated to me that they had the right to do that temporarily because of the pandemic, but on January 21 of this year, the World Health Organization issued new recommendations to end existing COVID-19-related travel mandates, saying that they do not provide added value and continue to contribute to the economic and social stress experienced by citizens.
With that in mind, I wondered if the department officials can indicate when these mandates will be lifted and the violation of the charter rights of Canadians will cease.
