OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A Member of Parliament has taken Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to task for keeping Canada’s “outdated” COVID travel restrictions.
On Wednesday, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Melissa Lantsman asked Trudeau who has been telling him to not drop his COVID travel mandates, an omission she called “vindictive” and unnecessary.
“International arrivals at Canadian airports are so backed up that people are being kept on planes for hours after they land because there isn’t enough space for the long lineups. His minister blames travelers, and the world has embraced restriction-free travel,” said Lantsman during a heated exchange in Canada’s House of Commons.
“The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Airports Council, and now health experts are telling this government that their outdated COVID restrictions have to go. Who’s actually telling the government to keep those restrictions?”
CPC MP @MelissaLantsman cites a number of organizations and experts who are calling on the feds to drop the travel restrictions. She asks PM Trudeau who is advising the government to keep the restrictions.
