 Hello, everyone. Good Friday to everyone. Today, I'm going to talk about what we're doing to fight COVID-19 here in Canada and measures that we're also taking internationally. Let's start with the situation here in Canada. In many parts of the country, the number of cases is still increasing rapidly. On Wednesday, I spoke with Premier Kenny and offered whatever help is needed to keep Albertans safe. I also spoke with Mayor Iverson of Edmonton and Mayor Nenshi of Calgary. I let them know that we're ready to assist in any way possible. In Ontario, the second team of healthcare workers from Newfoundland and Labrador arrived this week. They're joining the first team and the armed forces members to help in Ontario and Toronto hospitals. Right across the country, we have to continue doing everything we can to slow the spread of the virus. One of the ways to do that is with screening and testing. So far, we've distributed more than 26 million rapid tests to the provinces and territories and over a million directly to workplaces. Millions more are ready to be deployed. Supporting businesses, organizations and the public sector in accessing rapid tests is key to identifying and isolating cases and therefore reducing the risk of further outbreaks. That's why we're making it even easier for everyone to access these tests. In Ontario, small and medium-sized businesses and organizations can now get rapid tests at over 40 shoppers drug mart locations. Additional distribution locations and pharmacies will be added soon. Testing works. In April, we invested in the stay safe rapid screening program in the Waterloo region in partnership with the Ontario government, Communitech and the local chambers of commerce. In just the first two weeks, more than 120,000 free rapid tests have been distributed to over 1500 businesses. Cases have been found in asymptomatic people who had no idea they were positive but because of the test result, we're then able to isolate to prevent transmission. We're funding similar partnerships right across the country. In Nova Scotia, local public health has been hosting regular rapid screening pop-ups. In Alberta, Suncor is using 300 rapid tests a week for their workers. We need more of these great initiatives because they work. To help, our government will continue to secure tests and get them out to where they're needed. Rapid tests can be requested directly on a new federal portal which can be reached through canada.ca-coronavirus in the limiting the spread section. More screening and testing means safer workplaces and less community transmission. That will help us reopen our economy faster. About the economy this morning, we learned that 207,000 jobs were lost in April, especially because of the different difficult measures, but necessary, taken to fight the third wave. Since the beginning of this crisis, our government has acted to support Canadians. If you've lost your job, we won't let you fall. Salary subsidies, more flexible employment insurance and the Canadian economic recovery are yours. Presently, the best thing we can do for our economy is to end this third wave as quickly as possible. In addition to all our efforts to get there, we continue, of course, to provide vaccines to Canadians. Wednesday, Health Canada has approved the use of Pfizer vaccines for young people from 12 to 15 years old. Following a rigorous and independent scientific exam, the experts concluded that the vaccine is safe and effective for this age group. It's a step forward. It will allow us to add an extra cord to our ark to fight COVID-19. Until now, more than 18 million doses of vaccines have been sent to the provinces and territories. As expected, next week, we will receive another 2 million doses of Pfizer. Yesterday alone, over 350,000 doses were administered across the country. That's an encouraging number. And here's another one. 41 percent of adults in Canada have now received at least their first shot. I want to thank the provinces and territories for working hard to get Canadians vaccinated as quickly as possible. And to all the healthcare workers who are part of this effort, thank you. Vaccines are our way out of this crisis. When it's your turn to get your shot, do your part by making an appointment as soon as you can. If we keep looking out for each other and doing what we know needs to be done, we will get through this. On that note today, I also want to talk about our efforts to fight COVID-19 around the world. We've seen what's happening in what's happening. What we've seen happening in India is heartbreaking, and I know we all want to help. Last week, we announced $10 million in support for the people of India through the Canadian Red Cross. This week, we sent a first cargo plane with antiviral medication and ventilators, and there will be more to come. Again, let me reassure everyone that what we're sending is surplus supplies so it won't compromise our response here in Canada. To end this pandemic, whether here or elsewhere, we have to fight the virus and its variants all over the planet. That's why all countries need to have access to vaccines and treatments, and we have to work together so that no one is left behind. To help low- and middle-income countries access tests, treatments, and vaccines, we will make an additional contribution of $375 million to the access to COVID-19 tools accelerator. Internationally, Canada has always been a strong advocate for equitable access to supplies and vaccines. We've mobilized over $2.5 billion in response to COVID-19, making our government one of the top contributors to the global efforts. Together, we can continue to deliver life-saving vaccines, tests, and treatments to the world more vulnerable. We also recognize the important role industry has played in developing life-saving COVID-19 vaccines. We've been working with partners at the WTO to find a consensus-based solution and are ready to discuss proposals in particular for COVID-19 vaccines. We remain committed to finding solutions and reaching an agreement that accelerates global vaccine production and does not negatively impact public health. This morning, I'd also like to say a few words about Bill C-3 that received royal assent yesterday. This legislation will help restore trust in our criminal justice system for survivors of sexual assault and for all Canadians, while making sure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the efforts of Ronna Ambrose, whose Bill C-337 was the foundation for this legislation. I want to thank Ronna for her leadership on this issue and her support in getting this bill through. In short, I want to remind you that it is important to continue to be very careful. While the vaccination continues, we must follow the local public health guidelines. The Mother's Day will still be very different this year, but it is still the time to think about it and thank it. One thing is certain, our government will always be there to support the mothers and families during and after this crisis. I know it's been too long since many people have not been able to close their mothers in their arms, but it's not the time to let go. We must avoid the gathering and continue our efforts together to cross this third wave to be able to take advantage of the better times waiting for us.
