 Bonjour tout le monde. Right now, a lot of people are sitting around the kitchen table with bills, trying to figure out what needs to be paid and how to plan for the coming months. If you've been laid off, had your hours reduced or worried about your industry, these might be really stressful decisions. Far too many Canadians are having these tough conversations about finances and their future. Just look at the numbers. Last week, almost a million people applied for employment insurance. The hard truth is that people are out of work because of this crisis and worried about what comes next. So, I want you to know that we'll be there to help you. Our government is doing everything we can to be there for you. This morning, the City Council adopted an emergency law to help people as quickly as possible. The law is now in front of the Senate. I hope its adoption will be done quickly so that we can help Canadians as soon as possible. We will have more details for you this week and other measures to be announced. It's just a beginning. But this new law allows us to take the necessary measures to support you right away. We will, in particular, make sure that the Canadian Children's Allocation is carried out for six months, the date of resettlement of students and teachers. And, above all, with this law, we will introduce the new Canada Emergency Allocation. This allocation will replace the two allocations that we announced last week, either the Emergency Care Allocation and the Emergency Support Allocation, to simplify the process. As I said from the beginning, as the situation evolves, we adjust to help you better. The Canadian Emergency Allocation gives $2,000 every month for the next four months to workers who are deprived of their pay due to COVID-19. So, if you have lost your job, whether you are working full-time or contract-free, or whether you are an autonomous worker, this allocation is there for you. If you are sick or in quarantine, or if you are taking care of someone who has COVID-19, this allocation is there for you. If you have to stay at home without paying to take care of your children or your children, this allocation is there for you. And even if you still have a job but you don't receive any remuneration because of this crisis, the new Canadian Emergency Allocation is there for you. An online portal to submit the demands will be launched as quickly as possible. And people will start receiving money from us ten days after presenting their demands. The Canada Emergency Response Benefit will provide $2,000 a month for the next four months for workers who lose their income as a result of COVID-19. This will replace the two benefits we announced last week, the Emergency Care Benefit and the Emergency Support Benefit, in order to streamline the process. Like I said from the start, we will adapt our approach wherever needed. If you've lost your job because of COVID-19, whether you're full-time, contract or self-employed, this new benefit will be there for you. If you're sick or quarantined looking after someone sick or at home taking care of your kids, it's there for you. And even if you're still employed but not receiving income because of this crisis, the CERB is there for you. An application portal will launch as quickly as possible and people should start receiving money within ten days of applying. I know people are concerned about delays. Families are worried about when they'll get help. It can be hard to get through on the line and that is frustrating. Public servants are working around the clock while dealing with unprecedented demand and all of the same personal stress everyone else is facing. They will get to your application. Help is on the way. In order to speed things up, we're rapidly deploying workers from different departments to deal with claims. In the last ten days, we've boosted the team by close to 13,000 people to take your calls, process your claims, and get you the support you need. And since last Monday, we've already processed 143,000 employment insurance claims. That means more money will go directly to people right across the country. We're working to get you the support you need when you need it. And if you're doing okay, there's a way you can help someone else as an employer, a landlord, or even just a friend. So you can be part of the solution. It can make all the difference because it's by working together that we'll get through this. And our team knows that. We're collaborating with the provinces and territories, as well as with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nation communities to coordinate our efforts and ensure that everyone is supported. Earlier this week, with the premiers, we also discussed testing for COVID-19. We know that how long you wait for your results varies widely. The premiers and I know we need to address that, and we are. This is something Minister Haidou and I discuss with officials every day, and we'll continue doing what's needed to speed up results for everyone. But I also want to recognize the incredible work medical professionals are doing on this front. According to Dr. Tam, we're now testing about 10,000 people a day. That's a huge increase in numbers in a very short period of time. And it's because people across the country are working tirelessly to make it happen. At the same time, we're helping companies, labs, and scientific institutions produce and supply what we need most, from masks and ventilators to vaccines and antiviral drugs. We're collaborating with airlines to get Canadians home from abroad and instructing everyone that they must isolate at home for 14 days. We're also working with our international partners on this crisis. This morning, I had calls with President Sal of Senegal and President Kagame of Rwanda to share strategies on keeping people safe and addressing the economic impacts of this pandemic. I've also spoken to Prime Minister Abbey of Ethiopia and President Kenyatta of Kenya about international coordination. And tomorrow, I'll be speaking with other G20 leaders to discuss further global coordination to our response. More than ever, it is absolutely essential that Canadians access the latest information. But like everyone, the media also feels the consequences of the virus. To ensure that journalists can continue to do their work, which is even more essential to the crisis, our government announces today the measures to support them. Minister Gilbaugh will give more details soon. But while waiting, I want to thank all the journalists and our Canadian media, who keep Canadians aware of the latest developments with reliable facts and information. We greatly appreciate your work. Right now, it's more important than ever that Canadians have access to the latest news and information. To ensure that journalists can continue to do this vital work, our government is announcing new measures to support them. Minister Gilbaugh will have more to say about this shortly. But I want to take a moment to thank our journalists and media for everything they do today and every day. Above all, the most important way we can work together is by staying apart. Social distancing is our best tool to stop people from getting sick. I know people are seeing different graphs about how effective social distancing can be and new maps tracking the spread of this virus. Every time you turn on the TV or go online, you probably read something new. I know I do. And you'll want to know what's coming next. Today, I'll be getting the latest modelling from the Public Health Agency of Canada, and we'll discuss how to share this information even more directly with all of you. But you deserve the best information we've got about what's happening today and what tomorrow might bring. Because otherwise, the uncertainty can be really tough, not just for your routine, but for your mental health too. We're facing a once in a generation challenge, and on top of that, you can't do many of the things that keep you feeling good, getting together with friends, or having dinner with your neighbour. If you need help, reach out to your neighbour, to a sibling, to a friend, to a hotline. But do it from home. Don't go out unless you absolutely have to. If you're already following these rules, thank you for doing your part. If you aren't, know that you're making a dangerous choice, because ignoring these rules puts every single one of us, yourself included, at risk. Voici la réalité. Si les gens refusent de suivre les recommandations, nos médecins et nos infirmières ont plus de chances de contracter la COVID-19. Et si nos professionnels de la santé tombent malades, ils ne peuvent pas aller travailler. Et donc ils ne peuvent pas vous soigner si vous tombez malade. Notre pays fait face à la plus grande crise de santé publique de son histoire. Nous ne pouvons pas mettre à risque les gens qui nous gardent en santé, et ceux qui s'obstinent à voir leurs amis ou à recevoir des gens à souper mettent tout le monde en danger. Les épiciers, les techniciens d'électricité, les chauffeurs d'autobus, les agriculteurs, les éboueurs méritent mieux que ça. On doit les protéger. C'est pas compliqué ce qu'on vous demande. Restez chez vous. Si vous devez absolument sortir, gardez une distance de deux mètres les uns des autres. Et si vous revenez d'un séjour à l'étranger, rentrez directement chez vous et restez là pendant au moins 14 jours. Ça s'applique à tout le monde. Pour passer à travers, on doit tous veiller les uns sur les autres et on doit tous faire notre part. Je sais qu'on peut y arriver. Je sais que les Canadiens sont à la hauteur de la situation. Merci.
