Monday's reopening of the Canada-U.S. land border is sparking a mixed reaction among Canadian business leaders: They're excited that people and not just goods will be crossing the border again but are wary of remaining red tape.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council of Canada say the Canadian requirement for returning travellers to provide a recent, negative molecular test is an unnecessary obstacle to kick-starting business travel and tourism.

While the U.S. will not require travellers to show a negative COVID-19 test, the Canadian government is not waiving that requirement for citizens and permanent residents when they enter Canada. Canada and the U.S. realized they couldn't stamp out terrorism, so they "adopted a risk management approach that said, 'What we will do is we'll focus on the areas of highest risk. We'll use intelligence,"' said Beatty.

"I don't know that we yet fully understand the consequences of … whether that is going to impact the liberalization of labour mobility, where people were mega-commuting and where we saw labour mobility as kind of a big, important part of 21st-century globalized trade." Larger companies might be able to absorb the cost of tests, but smaller businesses might not be able to shoulder them, she added.
