Conservatives are calling on the Liberal government to forgive fines any incurred on Canadians for either failing to comply with the ArriveCan app while crossing the border or because of system glitches where the app wrongfully flagged compliant users.

“Canadians shouldn’t pay for Liberal incompetence. These fines should be immediately forgiven,” said Deputy Conservative Leader Melissa Lantsman in a Sept. 21 statement.
