New records reveal that over a third of a million people who were neither Canadian citizens nor residents have entered Canada since the invocation of the Quarantine Act, according to Blacklock's Reporter.

The act was invoked on March 26, restricting non-essential travel and forcing those who enter the country to go into quarantine for 14 days. Nevertheless, between March 22 and September 30, 335,872 foreigners entered the country including 54,000 American passport-holders and 18,000 Chinese passport-holders.

According to the Department of Industry, one quarter of these foreign visitors were flight crew members, 29 percent were students, 14 percent were immigrants, 9 percent were coming for work, and the remaining 22 percent came for pleasure. In the same period, the Department of Health spent $37 million on quarantining visitors in hotel rooms.

Foreign Minister François-Philippe Champagne commented on the revelation saying "I think our travel advisory is very clear. You see COVID around the world. You see second waves in many places, and we’ve been very clear to Canadians."

"I think Canadians this year should really take extreme caution, and the best way is to follow obviously the public health advice. I think staying home this year is probably the right thing to do when you’re looking at the COVID 3situation around the world," Champagne further suggested. "I don’t think that this year traveling is the appropriate thing to do, I think people should stay home."
