OTTAWA — A federal cabinet committee that has steered Canada’s COVID-19 response has unanimously recommended to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that Canada lift its COVID-19 border restrictions, sources tell the Star. However, the Star has now learned the final decision is now on the prime minister’s desk. It would not be affected by any decision to allow the measures in question to expire on Sept. 30. On Tuesday, cabinet ministers at the heart of the discussions would say only that no decision has been made. Some Conservative MPs took credit for any move the government might take, saying they’ve put pressure on Trudeau — a claim government sources rejected.
