Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that the federal government is now looking “very carefully” at the idea of vaccine passports, and will be working with allied nations on establishing measures for travellers who are vaccinated.

“As was the case pre-pandemic, certificates of vaccination are a part of international travel to certain regions and are naturally to be expected when it comes to this pandemic and the coronavirus,” Trudeau said during a press conference on Tuesday.
