From the outset, we have worked closely with the provinces and territories to support Canadians during the pandemic. We know it will take partnership between all levels of government to ensure Canadians can get back to work without worrying for their health. Yesterday, the Prime Minister, joined by the Deputy Prime Minister, announced an agreement of over $19 billion to ensure the provinces and territories have the support they need to protect the health of Canadians, help people get back to work safely, and prepare for a potential second wave.
As part of this agreement, we’ve outlined seven priority areas on which to focus our efforts.
This includes increasing testing and contact tracing, securing more personal protective equipment, and more support for the most vulnerable, like for seniors in long-term care facilities and nursing homes. This will help ensure we can detect, control, and prevent future outbreaks.
We are also focused on helping people, businesses, and communities adjust to our new normal, because until we find a vaccine, the daily threat of COVID-19 will not disappear. Fighting COVID-19 has always been a Team Canada effort and it continues to be as we begin to safely restart the economy.
