A U.S. congresswoman who represents a border district in New York state is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to end the mandatory use of the ArriveCAN app for those seeking to enter Canada.

Elise Stefanik, a Republican representative for New York’s 21st District, says the app has disrupted travel from the United States to Canada and damaged cross-border tourism and commerce between the two countries.
