Ontario's minister of health and long-term care says the province will offer to provide life-saving care to children whose surgeries have been cancelled in the United States as a result of recent travel restrictions.
"Given that this is a critical time for these ill children, our ministry and Ontario's specialized children's hospitals, which provide best-in-the-world care, feel the responsibility to act quickly," Eric Hoskins said Friday.
Hoskins said it has come to the government's attention that some critically ill children are being turned away at the U.S. border solely because of where they were born and that Canada has an obligation to respond.
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order last Friday which temporarily bans entry to the U.S. for people from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen.
