Reacting to the Canadian federal government’s new public health measures for international travellers, Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Friday said while he welcomes this change, he feels it doesn’t start soon enough.

Deputy Premier Christine Elliott says those who refuse to take a test will be issued a ticket.
