Oral Question 903-19(2): Reopening Border

Speaker: MR. SIMPSON

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this question is for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, other jurisdictions are opening up. Their borders are opened up. You can cross them as you please. And I guess you can here as well. But I guess, you know, people are coming across and, you know, some of them are asking me what it take to come across. I said, well, with the way enforcement and monitoring's going, I said, it's either a SIP plan or Tim Horton doughnuts, one or the other.

So, you know, I'd ask the Premier when can we expect the border monitoring personnel to be asked to stand down and the border wide open? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member for Hay River South. Honourable Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We work closely with the CPHO, and the CPHO is determining that now based on science and like I think the Minister of Health and Social Services says, we will provide an update to Members in the short future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
