 Bonjour tout le monde. Hello everyone. I want to start by congratulating all of the new non-permanent members of the UN Security Council. And although Canada isn't one of them, I want to take a moment to talk about our work on the file. As Canadians know, we embarked on this journey four years ago now. We decided to throw our hat in the ring because we saw a unique opportunity to engage with our partners across the UN, build sustainable peace, and make real progress on issues that matter. And that's what we've gotten to do during this campaign. We forged new partnerships, we strengthened existing friendships, and we laid a solid foundation for an even greater collaboration in the future. And that's never been more critical. Now, more than ever, global cooperation is crucial not only to defeat the virus, but to address the great challenges of our time, challenges that transcend borders. Growing our economies, mitigating the impacts of climate change, building a lasting peace, advancing gender equality, protecting our citizens. We have to engage with partners to achieve these goals. Getting this seat was never an end in itself, but rather a means to an end. A means to ensure that our voice was heard and that our values upheld on the world stage. The bid was certainly one way to achieve this, but it's far from the only way. Moving forward, Canadians can count on us to keep working with our partners to make progress internationally on issues that matter to them. First of all, I would like to congratulate all the non-permanent new members of the United Nations Security Council. And although Canada is not part of this, I would like to take a moment to talk about the work that we have accomplished in this regard. As Canadians know, we have been working on this matter for four years. We have decided to set up our candidacy because we saw a unique opportunity to collaborate with our partners within the United Nations, to build a sustainable peace and to carry out concrete progress on issues that matter to Canada. And that's what we have done during our campaign. We have forged new partnerships. We have resettled our friendship ties. And we have prepared the field to increase cooperation in the future. And it has never been so important. Today, more than ever, world cooperation is essential not only to win the virus, but also to raise the great challenges of our time, challenges that do not know the boundaries. We must work with partners if we want to ensure the growth of our economies, fight against climate change, instill a sustainable peace, advance the equality of sex, and protect our citizens. The adoption of this seat has never been an end in itself, but rather a way to achieve an end. A way to ensure that our voice will be heard and that our values are defended on the global stage. To sit at the Security Council was a way to achieve it, but it is far from being the only way. Canadians can always count on us to continue to work with our partners to advance the issues that are important. Across the country, we're starting to reopen parts of the economy, and that's welcome news for everyone. But as we start loosening some restrictions, we also have to strengthen other measures so that we don't lose the progress we've made. Some people start heading back to work, testing and contact tracing is crucial. That's why we've been working with the provinces and territories to ensure that they have everything they need to keep people safe and healthy. And today, we're taking an important step forward toward containing the virus and safely restarting the economy, led by the Canadian Digital Service and with the help of Shopify, BlackBerry and the Government of Ontario. We've been working on a nationwide mobile app that will notify users if they've been exposed to COVID-19. We will soon begin testing this app in Ontario. There are already a number of other provinces, including BC, who are working with us on this, but it will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. Premier Ford will have more to say on how the app will work in Ontario later today, but I want to thank him and his government for their leadership and partnership. Now, I want to stress that this app will be completely voluntary. It'll be up to individual Canadians to decide whether to download the app or not. But the app will be most effective when as many people as possible have it. Here's how it's going to work. If you test positive for COVID-19, a healthcare professional will help you upload your status anonymously to a national network. Other users who have the app and have been in proximity to you will then be alerted that they've been exposed to someone who's tested positive. The notification will encourage them to reach out to their local public health authorities. At no time will personal information be collected or shared, and no location services will be used. The privacy of Canadians will be fully respected. Today, we have taken an important step in wanting to contain the virus and reopen the economy in a safe way. Moved by the Canadian digital service and in collaboration with Shopify, BlackBerry and the government of Ontario, we are developing a mobile app at the level of the country that will inform users if they have been exposed to COVID-19. We will soon test the app in Ontario. Several provinces, including British Columbia, are already working with us, but the app will be available all over Canada in the coming weeks. The app will be voluntary, not mandatory, but it will be more efficient if it is downloaded by as many people as possible. So here's how it will work. If you receive a positive result for a COVID-19 test, a health professional will help you to download your status in an anonymous way on a national network. Other users who will have the app and who will have been near you will then be alerted that they have been close to someone who has tested positive. This alert will encourage them to contact their local health authorities. No personal information will be collected or shared, and no localization service will be used. The private life of Canadians will be respected all the time. For a few weeks, we have been opening up several sectors of the economy, but there have been special challenges for the different sectors. I think, for example, the cultural industry. Since the beginning of the crisis, our government has been there for artists, creators and workers in the sector. Canada's Council of Arts estimates that the cultural industry has received more than $2.5 billion in total, especially through programs such as the Canada Emergency and the Emergency Salary Subvention. In April, we have awarded $500 million to support our artists, our creators, and our stars in sports. I can also say that today we are launching an online portal to accelerate the treatment of these demands. Organisms who want to obtain funding will now be able to present a demand on the government website. We are making important progress, but we know that there is still work to be done. In the last few months, our museums have known major revenue losses, which threatens the jobs of many people. Our government has decided to make a new investment of $25.7 million to maintain almost 200 jobs in this national museum across the country. Our museums tell our stories, pay tribute to our artists and enrich our communities. People who work in these institutions preserve our Canadian heritage. They allow us to learn from the past and discover those and those who marked our country. Since the beginning of the crisis, our government has been closely monitoring the spread of the virus, its impacts on our economy and making the right adjustments along the way. We're going to keep listening to Canadians and look for other ways to support them as a situation evolves.
