"When asked whether Canadians with planned trips to Mexico should cancel their flights, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said on Tuesday that decisions should be made on a day-to-day basis even as the situation appears to be improving."
""I still am concerned because everything that's happened is so fresh still," Redmile said. "I am going with my youngest daughter, and her safety is of the utmost importance to me.""

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand advised travelers to make decisions daily as situations evolve.
