With rising COVID-19 cases in many areas of Canada, B.C. Premier John Horgan said he has recommended the federal government encourage residents of provinces to stay within their provinces except for essential travel.
“I’m going to reach out to the prime minister. We need a pan-Canadian approach to travel,” Horgan said at a media conference on Wednesday. “We need to ensure the people in Coquitlam are living under the same rules as the people in Chicoutimi. We need to make sure that those who want to come to B.C must only do so if it is essential for their business or their well being.”
On another topic, the members of the new B.C. government will be sworn into office next week.
Horgan said his NDP caucus, which now has 57 MLAs, will be sworn in Tuesday, Nov. 24 in a virtual ceremony, and his new cabinet will be introduced two days later, on Nov. 26.
