Mr. Speaker, with the upcoming travel season during March break, I would like to inform the House and Canadians about a great new tool.
Last December, the government launched its new Travel Smart app. It is a one-stop shop for international travel information and advice.
Travel Smart will provide Canadians with timely information on security conditions, health considerations, changing entry and exit requirements, passport validity, and wait times at border crossings. Most important, it provides emergency contact information for Canadian embassies and consulates and allows users to register so they can be reached in case of an emergency.
The Travel Smart app is a new tool that reflects our priority: helping all Canadians to travel safely around the world.
I want to thank our hard-working officials for this wonderful tool and encourage all members to download the app, and to encourage their constituents to do so as well.
