Despite pressure to open things up again, the border restrictions on non-essential travel between Canada and the United States will be extended again, until the end of July.
The measures at the border have been in place since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020.
The pressure to relax the restrictions has been building from businesses on both sides of the border, and increasingly from American lawmakers as vaccination rates climb in Canada.
Federal officials expect to have enough vaccines delivered for 80 percent of eligible Canadians to be fully vaccinated by the end of July.
