Now I read that our awesome neighbours to the south have reported over two million COVID-19 cases. Our borders are closed except for essential including commercial transport vehicles which is wonderful. However, we continue to allow flights in from the U.S. and other areas in the world. I read that there was a confirmed case in a plane from Denver, Colorad.

Mr. Trudeau, please close the borders to any flights from out of the country until this pandemic is over.
