No ‘Crystal Ball’ on When Canada-US Border Will Re-open Fully: Garneau
Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau says he doesn’t know when the Canada-U.S. border will re-open to its pre-pandemic state.
“I don’t know if my crystal ball is any better than yours,” Garneau told Liberal MP Sherry Romanado, who asked the minister if the border would open before the end of summer during his testimony before the Commons Committee for Canada-U.S. Relations Thursday.
“We’re hearing from our stakeholders, and of course, from industry as well. We have to look at all of the information that we have and make the right decision for Canadians.”

OTTAWA Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau says Ottawa is looking at expanding the categories of essential workers allowed to travel across the Canada-U.S. border.
He told a parliamentary committee today that could mean allowing technicians in the integrated auto industry to be considered essential workers for cross-border purposes.
The Canada-U.S. border has been closed to people travelling for vacations and other non-essential visits since March 2020 to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Garneau told MPs on the special committee on the economic relationship between Canada and the U.S. that the flow of goods across the shared border has slowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions.
