Canadian business leaders are pushing Ottawa to come up with a detailed plan to re-open the economy and international borders, as well as a process of certifying vaccines.
Attendees at a Canadian travel and tourism roundtable today called for the federal government to allow fully vaccinated foreigners into Canada, which is in accordance with advice from its expert advisory panel last month.
Canadian Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Perrin Beatty referred to Canada as a G7 "outlier", saying the country has failed to provide a re-opening plan that includes criteria such as vaccination rates.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he spoke with U.S. President Joe Biden at the G7 summit about loosening restrictions at the border, but didn't give any details about a timeline or any other specifics.
The U.S.-Canada border closure has been renewed monthly since it started in March 2020, and is currently set to expire on Monday.
Last week, the government announced that fully vaccinated Canadians who test negative for the virus won't have to self-isolate when entering the country.
