COVID-19: Pressure mounts to reopen borders as Montreal’s tourism industry continues to struggle

Airport, tourism and business leaders insist the time has arrived for the Trudeau government to reopen the borders to all non-essential foreign travellers if they have received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines approved by Public Health Canada.

Currently, the border is only open to essential foreign travellers or Canadians returning from abroad.

The closed border is taking a toll on the economy including tourism.

The Aéroports de Montréal is expected to receive three million passengers this year instead of the 20 million that normally travelled through prior to the pandemic.

And only a fraction of the 2.5 million annual Americans who normally visit are expected to make a trip here this year.

“French, German, English people, American people cannot come into Canada yet,” Christophe Hennebelle, Transat V.P. Corporate Affairs, said at a press conference at the Trudeau Airport.

Fully inoculated Canadians are allowed to travel to some foreign countries and officials want the same privileges granted to foreigners wanting to visit Canada.

“If you have a double Pfizer in Canada, why a double Pfizer in the U.S. is not having the same effect?” Michel Leblanc, the CEO of Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montréal, said.

And the former premier of Quebec, Jean Charest, who is now a member of the Wilson Center Task Force on recommendations for the Canada-U.S. border told Global News a gradual reopening of the border needs to be in place to allow fully inoculated Americans to visit.

“I think we’re looking at a scenario where we’re all safe on both sides of the border,” Charest told Global News.
