Madam Speaker, Canada has some of the strictest travel and border measures in the world. New variants of concern have made it very important that we take further steps to protect Canadians from COVID-19. We have been clear from the start of this pandemic that no one should be travelling. We have to get that message through. Doing so can put people and their loved ones at risk.
From the start, we have had the safety and health of Canadians in mind, and we will always act to protect that.
