 Hello everyone. Good morning, everyone. I am happy to be here with Dr. Tam and Dr. New. Minister Leblanc joined us virtually, and Minister Rodriguez is also one of us to answer questions on parliamentary developments. Fighting COVID-19 is a Team Canada effort. Right from day one, we've been working with all orders of government to keep people safe. And during this second wave, that's exactly what we'll continue to do. Yesterday, I had my 20th First Ministers meeting with the premiers to discuss what Canadians need for the weeks and months to come. To begin with, it's vital that frontline workers have access to personal protective equipment. To date, the federal government has shipped almost 190 million pieces of PPE to the provinces and territories. At the same time, we're providing support staff who can make over 14,000 contact tracing calls a day. We're also ramping up our testing at national labs across the country to help the provinces and territories with their surge capacity. In this second wave, just like in the first, our government stands ready to help our partners across the country keep Canadians safe. Fighting COVID-19 is a Team Canada effort. Right from day one, we've been working with all the orders of government to keep people safe. That's exactly what we'll continue to do during this second wave. Yesterday, we had our 20th First Ministers meeting with the provinces and territories since the beginning of this pandemic. We've discussed what Canadians need for the weeks and months to come. First of all, it's vital that frontline workers have access to personal protective equipment in sufficient quantities. To this day, the federal government has shipped almost 190 million pieces of PPE to the provinces and territories. At the same time, we're also providing support staff who can make over 14,000 calls a day for contact research and national labs across the country to help increase the surge capacity. In the second wave, just like in the first, our government stands ready to help our partners to keep Canadians safe. COVID-19 isn't just a health crisis. It's an economic one, too. Workers and businesses across the country need support during this tough time. The fact is that the second wave has the potential to hit people really hard, so we're going to keep stepping up to help. Last week, I announced that we were creating the new Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy, which provides direct rent support to tenants. This is in addition to the extension of the wage subsidy and the expansion of the Canada Emergency Business Account. These programs have been and will continue to be a lifeline for small business owners. Just take Amarjeet Chanduk, who owns Taza Express in Brampton. When the pandemic first hit, Amarjeet worried about whether his business would survive. But by using the wage subsidy, the rent support program, and the Canada Emergency Business Account, he was able to keep his employees on the payroll and the lights on. We will continue to be there for people like Amarjeet and for small businesses right across the country that create good jobs and make our communities stronger. COVID-19 isn't just a health crisis. It's also an economic one. Workers and businesses across the country need support during these tough times. We know that the second wave could hit really hard, so we're going to keep stepping up to help. Last week, I announced that we were going to create the Canada Emergency Business Subvention for the commercial rent, which will go directly to tenants. This support is in addition to the extension of the wage subsidy and the expansion of the Canada Emergency Business Account. These programs help and will continue to help small business owners. These businesses create good jobs and they are at the heart of our communities. In our fight against COVID-19, we need all the tools we can get. With over four and a half million downloads, the free COVID Alert app is a powerful way to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you download the app and come into contact with a person who then tests positive for COVID-19 and also has the app, it will alert you to take action. This helps you to do your part to stop the transmission of this virus. That's why eight provinces now have the app fully up and running and will continue to work with Alberta and BC to get them to come on board too. If you haven't already, I encourage you to go to the app store or Google Play and download the app for free. To help us fight against COVID-19, we have several tools at our disposal. With over 4.5 million downloads so far, the free COVID Alert app is very effective to help you protect yourself and your loved ones. The process is very simple and protects your private life. If you have had a close contact with a person who then tests positive for you, the app will alert you. After receiving the alert, you will then be able to go to a location where you isolate while waiting for your result. This app helps to stop the transmission of the virus. It now works fully in eight provinces and discussions continue with the British Columbia and Alberta. So, if you haven't already, go to the app store or Google Play and download the app for free. We must keep taking the fight against COVID-19 seriously. This pandemic is still a very real threat. For several weeks, you've been hearing me, the premiers and public health officials urging everyone to double down on what we know works to flatten the curve and beat this second wave. Frankly, the numbers are still too high and that has real consequences. Our frontline workers are at risk. Our parents and grandparents in long-term care facilities are at risk. And our loved ones who have pre-existing health conditions are at risk. For businesses, many of which have just gotten back on the road to recovery, this second wave has pushed them to the brink once again. This is very serious, but we have the power to turn things around. So let's keep doing our part for each other and for the people that we love. We must continue to be serious in our fight against COVID-19. Unfortunately, this pandemic is still a very real threat. For several weeks now, you've been hearing me, the premiers and public health officials and myself asking everyone to double down on what we know works to flatten the curve and beat this second wave. The numbers are still too high and that has real consequences. Our frontline workers, our parents and grandparents in long-term care facilities, and our loved ones who already have health problems. For businesses that have just gotten back on the road to recovery, this second wave has pushed them to the brink again. I understand your concern, but we can still reverse the trend. So let's keep doing our part to help each other and to help the people we love. As a government, we will continue to be there for you. This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia to express our concern about the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. I told him that Canada will continue to work extremely hard with all our allies to put an end to the violence. I encourage all sides to engage in dialogue, to find peaceful resolution to the conflict. This was echoed by Minister Champagne on his trip to Europe, which is wrapping up today. Minister Champagne's trip included a week of meetings with our allies to discuss the global fight against COVID-19. He also had talks about how we can find meaningful ways to support democracy in Belarus. Today, Minister Champagne met with opposition leader Spetlana Sikarnoskiya to show our support for her and for the people of Belarus. We will continue to work with our international partners to ensure that the people of Belarus make sure their voices are heard. And finally, I want to take a moment to talk to kids out there across Canada. I know that these past six months or so have been really difficult for all of you. But I know many of you had birthdays, milestones to celebrate during these past months that were really difficult and a lot less fun than usual. No families, no extended families, no parties, no friends. These are things that kids are struggling with in this time of COVID. This weekend is my dad's birthday, but it's also my son's aviary, his 13th birthday. Turning 13 is a big moment where you get to become a teenager and all the responsibilities that come with it. But it's also a time where friends really matter and not having a party is tough. But as families, as Canadians, and as kids, we need to keep doing our part to keep safe, to protect our grandparents, to make sure that we're slowing the spread of COVID-19. We've asked an awful lot of everyone across the country, especially kids. But I want you to know that we're going to continue asking a lot of you because I know you're capable of it. We're there for you, make sure you're leaning on each other, but know that we all need to do our part to keep people safe, even when it's our special day.
