 I am happy to be here with Dr. Tam and Dr. Niu. I want to start today with an update on COVID-19. In the last few days, Ontario and Quebec have had their highest ever numbers of cases. And across the country, totals have gone up, including in long-term care homes. That's not where any of us wanted to be on the way into Thanksgiving. But even if we can't gather this long weekend, we still have a chance to turn things around for Christmas. You're probably already wearing a mask when you go out, now more than ever. Keep it up. The same goes for staying two metres apart and washing your hands. And if you haven't already, download the COVID Alert app now, which is another way of keeping yourself and others safe. Seven provinces have brought the app fully online, and we're expecting more news on this later today. COVID Alert is free and protects your privacy, so download it from Google Play or the app store. The more people who sign up, the more powerful this tool will become. Already in Ontario, over 600 people have registered a positive result, which automatically notified thousands of people they came into contact with. Now is the time for all of us to use the app. All over the country, COVID-19 cases have continued to increase. I ask you, please, to keep your mask on, keep your distance, and wash your hands. We often repeat it, I know, but it's because these small gestures can make a big difference. And if you haven't already, download the COVID Alert app from the app store or Google Play. This province is in the air now, and the government of Quebec will make an announcement on this very soon. The priority number one of our government is people's safety. We have now received more than two billion individual protection articles for Canadians. Over the past month, our government has delivered tens of millions of articles to provinces and territories that include facial masks, blouses, or gloves. As for the issue of gun guns, we have not only taken a look at provinces and territories, but we also have two Canadian companies that have been allowed to supply guns here in the country with 3D prints. For the vaccines last week, Health Canada received its first order of authorization for the AstraZeneca vaccine, which we have been assured to have access to. It is another step forward to see if Canadians get a safe and effective vaccine as soon as possible. Our government will continue doing everything we can to support people through this crisis, whatever it takes, as long as it takes. Yesterday, I had a very productive call with Mayor Tory of Toronto about addressing the challenges facing Canada's largest city. Later today, I'll be speaking with Mayor Watson from Ottawa and Mayor Brown from Brampton. I will also speak soon with Mayor Splante from Montreal, and I will just speak with Mayor Labom from Quebec. Beating this virus is a Team Canada effort, and we're here for Canadians right across the country. We've created the COVID Testing Assistance Response Team to quickly deploy across Canada, because the federal government stands ready to help. Federal lab space is also providing surge support on processing of tests, including for Ontario for 1,000 tests a day. And additional federal labs will be added. On contact tracing, we have agreements in place with Ontario, Quebec and Alberta with more to come for other provinces and territories. There are 500 full-time contact tracers provided for Ontario, including 30 tracers specifically for Ottawa. At the same time, we're moving forward with programs that go directly to Canadians. As of this morning, applications for the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit and the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit are open. These two programs are for Canadians not covered at work if they get COVID-19 or if their kids or parents get it, and they have to take care of them. If you need this support, go to the CRA's My Account through Canada.ca or call 1-800-959-2019 or 1-800-595-2041. Sorry, 959-2041. Next week, applications will also open for the Canada Recovery Benefit to support people who are directly affected by COVID-19 but can't access EI. These three new programs, the Recovery Benefit, the Sickness Benefit and the Caregiving Benefit, are there for you.

This fall is turning out to be pretty challenging for a lot of Canadians, including for young people. For students, I know this isn't the Thanksgiving, let alone the year that you had hoped for. But even if things are different this long weekend, I hope you still take some time, probably online, with loved ones. If you're feeling overwhelmed or if you're struggling, reach out. You have a whole network, families, friends, teachers that's there for you. I know we're going through really tough times right now. Everyone is. But we need you, your strength, your resilience, your vision for the future. We will continue to be there for you. And you got this. Speaking of this, I would like to highlight the World Teachers Day. To all our teachers and educators from one end to another in the country, I want to say thank you. It's not easy, and the situation is far from ideal. And despite everything, you continue to do an incredible job. Every day, you are approved and you make a huge difference in the lives of young people. Later today, we are going to announce the name of the 71 exceptional educators from all over the country who are going to put the price of the Prime Minister for excellence in teaching. These are people who believe in our children and are doing it. They contribute to building a future that is more promising for all of us. As a dad and as someone who spent time at the front of a classroom, I know just how important teaching can be. Of course, even in regular times, the job is not without its challenges. And right now, teachers are facing circumstances that none of us could ever have predicted. So to teachers and educators across the country, thank you for everything you do. Not only are you navigating health rules and online learning, you're guiding young people through an incredibly difficult and challenging new world. You're there for our kids and know that our government will be there for you. We created the $2 billion safe return to class fund to keep you and your students safe. For Edmonton Public Schools, this money has helped with rapid testing to protect staff and students. For schools in London, Ontario, it has meant buying more PPE and hiring additional teachers. And right across the country, this investment is going towards keeping all of our classrooms healthy. As we have done with the fund for a secure school return, we will continue to find other ways to ensure the safety of all Canadians. To flatten the curve, whether in schools or workplaces, this is our absolute priority for the next few weeks. And finally, I want to let Canadians know that I've asked the Foreign Minister to travel to Europe to discuss with our allies the developments in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, particularly in Nagorno-Karabakh. Thank you very much.
