Public Safety Minister Bill Blair says an American billionaire was mistakenly permitted to enter Canada without following the 14-day quarantine rule because of a decision by the Canada Border Services Agency. Blair said his government is "working with the CBSA to ensure that similar cases do not occur again." A spokesperson for Uline said all three were granted formal exemptions from the two-week quarantine period that has been in place since March. According to a CBSA spokesperson, Uihlein was allowed into the country for "non-discretionary" travel. You know, the rules are the rules and they have to follow the rules and regulations," the premier said.
