Laywers for two separate lawsuits challenging Newfoundland and Labrador's travel restrictions say the provincial government's decision to allow American family members to enter Canada helps boost their cases, following a federal announcement earlier this week. Rosellen Sullivan said the addition of American citizens to the list of travel exemptions shows the rules do not apply logically and equally to everyone. Ball said Americans wishing to enter the province to see family members still have to apply for a travel exemption. People from other Canadian provinces can also travel to Newfoundland and Labrador to be reunited with immediate family members. Geoff Budden is a civil lawyer based in St. John's who is part of a class-action lawsuit filed against the provincial government.
