Quebec is working with Ontario on how border closure will work: Guilbault

In a tweet Friday evening, Public Security Minister Geneviève Guilbault said Quebec is following Ontario’s lead and will close its border with the neighbouring province.

“As of Monday, we will close our border with Ontario and implement tight controls,” Guilbault said. “We are in discussions with the Ontario government to determine the terms. The spread of variants must be limited. It’s a matter of security.”
