 I am very happy to be here with the Minister of Infrastructure and Collectivity, Catherine McKenna, and the President of the Bank of Infrastructure of Canada, Michael Sabia. Before we proceed to the announcement today, I would like to take a moment to make a point on COVID-19. In the last few days, COVID-19 cases have continued to rise across the country. The world has seen its highest-ever daily number of cases. Montreal and Quebec City are at their top level of alert. And everywhere, this virus remains a threat. Last spring, we worked together to flatten the curve. I know we can do that again this fall. So please, keep following public health instructions. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance. And if you haven't already, download the COVID Alerp app from the App Store or Google Play. It's free. It can text your privacy. And it's another way to keep yourself and others safe. As of this morning, Manitoba has now brought the app fully online, joining Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan. And in the coming days, we're looking forward to even more provinces following their lead. So download the app today. Because of the high-ever number of cases, it's very important for everyone to continue to follow public health rules. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and keep your distance. And if you haven't already, download the free, free, alert COVID app. Since this morning, the app is fully functioning at Manitoba, joining Ontario, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan. We hope that other provinces will take the step. On our side, the government continues to work with provinces and territories to ensure your safety. This week, I called on Prime Minister Ford and Prime Minister Legault to offer my full support when we face this second wave together. We talked about what our government could do more, especially regarding the expansion and support of small and medium-sized businesses. Later today, we will have our 19th meeting with Prime Ministers of provinces and territories. We must continue our efforts together. I think, among other things, of the agreement on the security reliance or at the bottom for a secure school return. These are federal investments that help with all kinds of measures, including the individual protection equipment or the protection of children and school staff. The priority is to help Canadians cross the storm. Last Wednesday, in the speech from the throne, we announced our plan to support Canadians through this crisis as long as it takes whatever it takes. Job 1 remains keeping people safe. And as we do that, we're also going to fight for the livelihoods of every single worker. This spring was tough for a lot of people who either lost their jobs or saw their hours cut. And while many Canadians are back at work, many others are still looking. As a government, there are ways we can help by building on what we've done so far. In the throne speech, we announced a plan to create over a million jobs for Canadians. We'll make this happen by extending the wage subsidy and investing in youth employment. And we'll also look at opportunities in growing sectors, which is what I want to talk about today. This morning, our government is launching a $10 billion infrastructure plan to build stronger, healthier communities while helping Canadians get back to work. In fact, this plan alone will create about 60,000 jobs right across the country. Through the Canada Infrastructure Bank, this three-year growth plan will invest in everything from clean power, zero-emission buses and home retrofits, to broadband and irrigation infrastructure for farmers. This is a win-win. With smart, targeted investments, we can get people back on the job and grow the economy while building a healthy, sustainable future for everyone. Today, I'm announcing that we're launching a $10 billion infrastructure plan to build stronger communities and create tens of thousands of jobs for Canadians. Through the Canada Infrastructure Bank, this three-year growth plan will allow us to invest in several sectors, including clean energy, zero-emission buses, eco-energistic renovation, high-speed internet and irrigation infrastructure for farmers. Through these judicial investments, we can get people back to work, grow the economy and build a healthy and sustainable future for everyone. As we work to build a stronger country, we must ensure that no one is left behind. The last six months have been difficult for everyone, especially for a good number of our seniors. To the seniors, you have worked hard all your life, and it is now our turn to work hard to offer you the best possible support. Our government will stay on the side, and we will stay on the sides to ensure that you have all you need. As we have announced in the Trump speech, we will continue to take measures to protect people in long-term care establishments, while helping elderly people stay at home longer and increasing their passions. Our communities, just like our families, are stronger because of the contributions of seniors. On National Seniors Day and Every Day, let's recognize the people in our lives who helped raise us and who made this country what it is. Finally, I want to end today by recognizing some important news out of the House of Commons. Earlier this morning, our government introduced a bill to end conversion therapy in Canada. It's past time to put a stop to this unacceptable, discredited practice that has hurt far too many LGBTQ2 Canadians. conversion therapy is harmful, degrading, and has no place in Canada. I hope all parties step up, come together, and support this bill.
