Quotes
"Border communities across Canada rely on small crossings every day. The expansion of hours at ports of entry all along the Canada-US border will make it easier for local residents to do everything from getting goods to market to seeing friends and family. The dedicated employees of the Canada Border Services Agency are our country’s front line, and I want to thank them for their partnership in extending hours at over 40 crossings.”
– The Honourable Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety
