Canada's border clampdown on travel could soon be adjusted to allow some new humanitarian exemptions. Public opinion polls suggest the travel restrictions are extremely popular with Canadians. "We want to make sure that there is a very careful process in place where people can apply for those exemptions," Blair told reporters after a cabinet meeting in Ottawa. He said Blair told the mayors some changes would be coming to allow compassionate exemptions. He did, however, say the mayors broadly supported some humanitarian exemptions — as long as the changes were minor and mostly maintained the current border restrictions.
