WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) issued the statement below following the Canadian government’s announcement that it will begin to ease pandemic restrictions at the U.S.-Canada border on August 9:

“This is great news and will help connect loved ones and alleviate the burden on so many businesses on our border that have been suffering.
