Friday, Justin Trudeau made a comment about working with Ontario Premier Doug Ford to ban international students from entering Canada.
Yesterday the Premiers and I had another productive meeting. We talked about vaccines, testing, and what we can do to beat this third wave. We also talked at length about borders. Premier Ford asked that we suspend the arrival of international students. Because at this time Ontario is the only province requesting this we’re happy to work more narrowly with them. We’ll be reaching out to their officials today to formalize that request. Again, I want to be clear: this is not the time to travel.
