Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday will provide an update on his government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to his official itinerary, Trudeau will address Canadians at 11:15 a.m.
ET from Rideau Cottage, where he is currently in self-isolation. On Sunday, Trudeau announced the House of Commons will reconvene on Tuesday to pass legislation — which includes an $82-billion aid package — to support Canadians impacted by the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Trudeau said the government is working closely with provinces and territories in the fight against COVID-19 but that Canada is not at the point where the Emergencies Act needs to be invoked.
