Elizabeth May Green Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC

Madam Chair, I would be very happy to ask the Conservatives that, but I am afraid questions go to the government members.

My question now for the government members is this. We are having a lot of concern, particularly in areas such as Saanich—Gulf Islands near the U.S. border, about what is being called the Texas loophole. I do not think we actually meant to put in place something called a Texas loophole. I spoke with the Minister of Public Safety.

What we are going to do to ensure that the Canada Border Services Agency does not let tourists into Canada for less than essential purposes, potentially spreading COVID-19?
