Government Operations committee  I'll take that question. “OIC” stands for “order in council”. It was the instrument that was used to put in place the proper authorities or requirements for the public health measures.

Government Operations committee  I can speak to some of the requirements that changed over the course of the pandemic. I believe it was in April of this year that the government decided to implement a vaccine-differentiated border. By that I mean that those individuals who were vaccinated and double-dosed were a

Government Operations committee  I'll take that question, but I'll turn to Chris to provide additional information. In terms of the apps that are developed on behalf of PHAC, such as the ArriveCAN app, the investment, as the president of the CBSA has indicated, is $54 million. With respect to the other apps tha

Transport committee  I will have to get that number for you. I don't have it readily accessible.

Transport committee  With respect to the measures that have been put in place as a result of COVID-19, we've undertaken a multipronged or multi-layered approach.
