Health committee  We certainly speak with our American colleagues, Mr. Chair, on a regular basis. We spoke to our colleagues at the CBP, the Customs and Border Protection agency, just before coming here this afternoon. We're in constant communication with them, certainly with their decision over t

Health committee  From our perspective, Mr. Chair, at the border we do not have such a list. I don't know if colleagues....

Health committee  Mr. Chair, for privacy reasons, I wouldn't want to speak about a specific individual.

Health committee  Still, Mr. Chair, we would not get into the particulars of an individual's case at an airport. We feel confident that our assessment process, which we described earlier, is working in terms of referrals to PHAC.

Health committee  I appreciate the question, Mr. Chair. Again, I would preface any comments I make with the fact that it's really a Public Health decision to make. From our perspective at the border, we're constantly looking at different options. As I mentioned earlier, if we were in a position

Health committee  Do you mean students coming in on the evacuation flight, or just generally?

February 3rd, 2020Committee meeting

Paul MacKinnon

Health committee  Mr. Chair, from our perspective at the border, again we would not have a special process for students returning. We would follow that same procedure of asking whether they had come from Hubei and whether they were sick, or if we could see they were sick, and then we would follow

Paul MacKinnon

Health committee  Again, from our perspective, it depends on what we see from that individual in the border context if we think they're ill. But we don't have any special procedures for students. What the schools are doing themselves I don't have data on.
