Quebec premier says Ottawa should crack down on Canadians vacationing abroad

In the face of crowds of people flying south, even as COVID-19 cases surge, Quebec Premier François Legault is urging the federal government to explain how it will try to stem the tide.

And he warned Tuesday that he may also take more severe measures in what’s required upon travelers’ return home.

During a joint press conference with the three leaders of the province’s opposition parties, Legault said he was on the same wavelength as Ontario Premier Doug Ford — he, too, denounced the federal government’s slowness in intervening, since airports and borders are federal, not provincial.
