International Trade committee  People have to comply with the requirements. We have recently become more flexible. That said, from the beginning, we have been helping as many people as possible complete their applications when they arrive. If a traveller is quarantined in certain circumstances, there are reso

International Trade committee  At this time, there has not been. This is purely the vehicle by which we capture the health requirements at the border, so it's tied very closely to the ongoing orders in council.

International Trade committee  I would have to double-check in regard to each individual release, but consistently throughout—and I see Marie-Hélène nodding—we have been engaged with them.

International Trade committee  I will have to take that one back. I've had the pleasure of riding that bus to a Tigers' game, so I know what you're talking about, but I'd be happy to bring that back to the committee with a more fulsome answer.

International Trade committee  Yes, absolutely. We've taken as many measures as we can to work with local stakeholders to really promote the ArriveCAN app, the requirements at the border, and to analyze how we can do the passage as safely as possible for the travellers and our folks. We are heavily engaged r

Transport committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Many thanks for the recognition in your opening remarks. I truly appreciate it. We've had some great staff working diligently for the last two and a half years, doing all they can to protect at the border. It is a pleasure for me to appear and speak with yo

Transport committee  Regretfully, I can't speak on behalf of U.S. customs and their current personnel. They work with our public safety portfolio or lead agency in terms of providing some of the pre-clearance capacity. On the CBSA side, I will say that we are all hands on deck. We plan for summer v

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. Mr. Chair, the ArriveCAN app is actually the vehicle for the provision of the medical information and public health information mandated through the order in council as issued by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Without the use of ArriveCAN, for wh

Transport committee  Regrettably, I can't speak to the U.S. pre-clearance operations. I know Public Safety is heavily engaged with their Department of Homeland Security counterparts, as well as Transport Canada, and the CBSA to a much lesser extent, just to speak to the interest and what we have seen

Transport committee  Thank you for your question, sir. Since the app was first released, it has gone through more than 80 versions to improve its usability and reflect public safety measures, which change with the various orders made. We always ensure we conduct checks and tests with Google and App

Transport committee  That's correct.

Transport committee  I don't have any data with me. According to the most recent numbers reported in the media, one bug affected roughly 10,000 persons who used an Apple phone from June 28 to July 20. It took six days to correct that problem. The individuals concerned received emails directing them

Transport committee  I'm going to ask my colleague Ms. Lutfallah to discuss fines. However, I can tell you that we're collecting implementation information that should have been forwarded through ArriveCAN. People aren't required to quarantine for 14 days for failing to submit their information via

Transport committee  That's a question for my colleague Ms. Lutfallah.

Transport committee  The CBSA plans every year for its seasonal fluctuations in traffic in the various modes—land, airports and through the cruise ship season—and aligns its resources and moves them accordingly. In support of the air transportation sector, we hire student border services officers e
