Was B.C. contemplating “any specific border restrictions?” Horgan was asked during his weekly news conference on Wednesday.
“Not at this time,” he replied, but added: “We have staff working on various plans and protocols that we could put in place — we don’t want to get caught short.”
He said the province was consulting the same officials “that we used to shore up the federal government … by putting provincial government workers at various border points across the U.S. border.”
The province dispatched its own staff in the spring out of concern that Ottawa was foot-dragging on screening and quarantining returning Canadians and others at airports and international borders.
