Canada-U.S. border closure extended; PM announces funding for Indigenous businesses
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau began his daily address to the nation Saturday with news of an extension of the closure of the Canada-U.S border to non-essential travel.
“Canada and the United States have agreed to extend, by another 30 days, the border measures that are currently in place. This is an important decision and one that will keep people on both sides of the border safe,” stated Trudeau.
The PM also announced $306 million for Indigenous businesses to allow them to get interest-free loans and non-repayable contributions through financial institutions and administered by the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association.
“This is only a first step. Very soon we will be announcing other measures to help Indigenous businesses and their employees,” said Trudeau.
