 Bonjour tout le monde. Hello, everyone. First thing I want to do this morning is to share an update about the Ukrainian International Airlines tragedy that took so many innocent lives earlier this year. Even as we face this new crisis, families and loved ones continue to grieve and see cancers. I want to ensure them and all Canadians that we have been working hard to get accountability and justice, even as we fight this pandemic. At the same time, we've also been developing a strategy with our other international partners to make sure that such a tragedy never happens again. Today, I'm appointing the Honourable Ralph Goodale as my special adviser for Canada's ongoing response to the downing of Flight 752. With his decades of extraordinary service to Canada, including as Minister of Public Safety, Ralph has the right expertise to guide our response to this air disaster and provide recommendations for best practices going forward. He will also continue to push to see families properly compensated. The second thing I want to do is share a story with you. A few weeks ago, Dave Caputo, the owner of a startup in Trust Corps in the Waterloo region, called a meeting with his employees. With mounting concerns around COVID-19, Dave asked his team how they could repurpose their building materials factory to make products, hospitals, needed. A few days later, they had four prototypes drawn up. They decided to make large panels, which hospitals could use to subdivide rooms and isolate people with COVID-19 from other patients. Well, on Monday, panels made of fully recyclable materials were delivered at no cost to several hospitals in the region, including Grand River, St. Mary's, and Guelph General Hospital. Dave and his team showed what Canadians do in difficult times. We don't back down from a challenge. We roll up our slaves and we get to work. I know that this pandemic has been incredibly challenging for people right across the country, but we're also seeing the best of what it means to be Canadian. From coast to coast to coast, businesses are retooling to produce face shields, ventilators, hand sanitizers, and other supplies our healthcare professionals need. To make it easier for companies to help out during this critical time, we launched Canada's plan to mobilize industry to fight COVID-19 a little over a week ago. In the time since, we've spoken directly to almost 3,000 companies who've reached out to offer their help. Before we go any further, I want to thank all the owners and entrepreneurs and managers who've answered our call to action. This vital support comes at a critical time. And the way you looked around and said, not, how can I keep myself safe, but how can I keep myself and my employees safe and help out in this critical time is a real sign of leadership and a sign of what Canadians do best. In tough times, we pull together, we're there for each other. We put up our hands and we ask, how can we help? I also want, in the same vein, to thank everyone who's making, shipping, and delivering these products. People who work on the manufacturing sector and in terms of getting people the items they need are on the front lines of this fight. Our country needs you through these tough times, and we thank you deeply for everything you do. When we announced the Canadian plan for mobilization of the industrial sector to fight COVID-19, we said we were making agreements with Thornhill Medical, MediCom, and Spartan Bioscience. Today, we're announcing the signing of an approvisioning contract with these three Canadian companies to manufacture medical equipment such as respirators, surgical masks, and dispassion trusses. I'm here to highlight the work of Minister Baines, who has played a role in the first place to conclude these hearings. We also signed intentions letters with five other companies, such as Precision Biomonitoring, Fluid Energy Group, Irving Oil, Calco Group, and Standfields. By mobilizing the industry, we can produce here in Canada the articles our health professionals need to protect their own health, treat patients with COVID-19, and stop the spread of the virus. When we announced our plan to mobilize industry, we said that we were close to reaching agreements with Thornhill Medical, MediCom, and Spartan Bioscience. Today, we're announcing that we have moved forward with contracts with these three Canadian companies to make medical supplies such as ventilators, surgical masks, and test kits. I want to recognize the great work Minister Baines has done to make this happen. We've also signed letters of intent with five other companies, Precision Biomonitoring, Fluid Energy Group, Irving Oil, Calco Group, and Standfields. We know that the demand for critical equipment and supplies will grow in the coming weeks, so we need a sustainable, stable supply of these products. And that means making them at home, and we're optimistic that they will be available in the coming weeks. So today, I'm also announcing that our existing next-generation manufacturing supercluster will be leading companies in developing and scaling up new technologies to test and treat Canadians. The demand for these goods is going up, so we're making sure Canada is ready to keep up. That's why our government is also allocating $2 billion to purchase protective personal equipment, including for bulk purchases with provinces and territories. This includes things like more masks and face shields, gowns, ventilators, test kits and swabs, and hand sanitizer. Protective personal equipment is essential to protect our health care workers who are on the frontlines of this fight. We recognize that more is needed, and everyone is working day and night to receive essential supplies. We're coordinating with the provinces and territories, the public health agency, and the experts to make sure our health care workers get everything they need. This is a priority for our government, and we will continue to source new solutions every day. We're expecting shipments to come in in the coming days, and we will continue to work tirelessly to get these supplies to where they're needed. Several companies have also made equipment and medical equipment to contribute to the fight against COVID-19. The Alibaba Group has sent us 500,000 masks and 10,000 test kits to help us. The COVID-19 Medical Support Group, an organization that collects health professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, and health representatives from non-lucrative organisms, works with several companies to provide medical equipment. Up until now, they have received a three-m bombings and three-metronics commitment to make personal protective equipment. And Toys R Us is committed to providing baby monitors to Canadian hospitals to promote better communication between patients and health professionals. These monitors will also help reduce the unnecessary movement in hospitals that could put lives in danger. I want to thank the many companies that made a donation for their generosity and their leadership. You make your part, and all Canadians must follow your example. There's no question that we will need more masks, ventilators, and testing kits. But how many more we need depends entirely on you. If you stay home and follow public health recommendations, you can slow the spread. And that means fewer patients in our hospitals, fewer people to test, fewer ventilators to use on critical patients. So keep doing your part and help us keep Canada safe. Thank you very much.
