PM says Ottawa is looking at banning certain flights

"Our measures have been very strong, but we're always open to strengthening them as necessary," he said when asked if the government would consider a ban on international travel.

"We're always looking at various measures as they are effective elsewhere in the world."

"We're doing whatever it takes to protect Canadians, including looking at banning certain flights if necessary. Decisions must be made based on public health guidance," he told a briefing outside his home at Rideau Cottage.

"As always, our ministers are actively leaning in on this and talking to experts to reach a determination without delay. We will continue to keep Canadians informed of any new decisions we take."

"We need to ground airlines. And I understand the economic harm, but when our health care system collapses and we have refrigerator trucks parked outside hospitals, the big question we need to ask is, really, are vacations that important? Is travel that important?" he said.
