Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that the federal government is "comfortable" with the National Hockey League having a hub city in Canada, as long as local health authorities approve.

"We have indicated that we are comfortable with moving forward on an NHL hub in one of the three Canadian cities that are asking for it," Trudeau said of Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto. "Obviously the decision has to be made by the NHL and the cities and the provinces in the jurisdiction, but Canada is open to it as long as it is okayed by the local health authorities."

Trudeau's comments come after he announced that Canada and the United States had agreed to extend the current border restrictions on non-essential travel through July 21.
