Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not confirm nor deny whether he’s about to lift much of the remaining federal COVID-19 restrictions after several media reports predicted as much in recent days.
“Every step of the way through this pandemic we’ve been guided by evidence, by facts, by the best counsel of experts—international and across Canada—with the overarching priority of keeping Canadians safe, healthy, and making sure we’re caring for the Canadian economy and everyone’s general well-being,” Trudeau told reporters on Sept. 18 while in London for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
