Coronavirus: Trudeau states federal government won't cut assistance too rapidly as vaccines present|FULL
One day after his financing minister released the fall financial update, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau informed Canadians his government will not cut assistance too rapidly as COVID-19 vaccines are expected to begin presenting.
Trudeau stated his federal government will present a “historical” stimulus strategy of 3 to 4 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) to rebuild the economy.
Followed by Trudeau, federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu revealed that Johnson & Johnson has applied for Health Canada approval for its vaccine candidate, to become the fourth vaccine candidate pending the regulative body approval, in addition to Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand said the delivery of a COVID-19 vaccine is expected within the very first quarter of 2021 as soon as Health Canada gives its approval, and that she is working out with vaccine providers for earlier delivery dates.
Dr. Thesea Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, reported 6,103 new coronavirus cases nationally, for an overall of 378,139 cases.
Financing Minister Chrystia Freeland provided a fall fiscal update on Monday that consisted of a temporary top-up to the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), an increase to the wage aid and targeted aid for industries that have been particularly hard-hit by the pandemic.
