Mr. Speaker, every day thousands of passengers from China and elsewhere in Asia arrive at our ports of entry of Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. Oftentimes, they board domestic flights and connect throughout Canada and elsewhere in North America.
Calling the coronavirus a grave situation, China has quarantined whole cities and millions of people. The WHO has now listed the global threat as high. The safety of Canadians is currently dependent upon screening in China and self-reporting by infected passengers.
When will the government institute a real plan that includes an enhanced screening process?
