PM SAYS GOVERNMENT STUDYING WAYS TO REUNITE FAMILIES

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is exploring ways to reunite family members divided by the temporary travel restrictions at the Canada-u.s. border. Trudeau acknowledged media reports of family members or people with permanent-resident status being turned away by border agents as a result of a ban on non-essential cross-border travel. He noted that while some premiers support the idea, others are concerned about the potential risk of cases of COVID-19 being imported into their provinces.
