 Bonjour à tous. Hello everyone. This has been a heartbreaking week for Nova Scotians and for all Canadians. At 2 p.m. Atlantic time, we will observe a minute of silence in honour of Constable Heidi Stevenson and all the victims of the Nova Scotia shooting. I also want to remind everyone that at 7 p.m. Atlantic or 6 p.m. Eastern, a virtual vigil will be held to remember those who were taken from us too soon and support their friends and family during this particularly difficult time. I hope that many of you will join us and wear red today in a show of solidarity. Let's come together to support these communities who suffered immeasurable loss. Let's celebrate the lives of those who left us too soon. Let us remember the families, friends, loved ones whose absence will linger for years and lives. You can find more information at NovaScociaRemembers.com. The week that ends has been particularly painful for the people of Newcastle and for all Canadians. At 4 p.m. Pacific time, we will observe a minute of silence to honour the memory of Constable Stevenson and all the victims of the shooting in Newcastle. A virtual vigil will take place at 19 p.m. or 18 p.m. Eastern to celebrate the lives of those who left us too soon. It is an opportunity for us to show our families and friends the victims that we are here for them during these incredibly difficult times. I hope that many of you will join us and wear red in a show of solidarity today. For more information, I invite you to visit NovaScociaRemembers.com. Since the beginning of the outbreak, our government has been working with its provincial and territorial partners not only to get through this crisis, but to position our economy to rebound once it's over. And a big part of this work means listening to the concerns of Canadians and making adjustments as we go along. One thing we've heard is that small businesses are having trouble making rent because of COVID-19. If you've had to close up shop because of public health recommendations, if you don't have a lot of money coming in because people aren't spending as much these days, you may be worried about losing your office space or not having a coffee shop to reopen after this crisis. So last week, we said that we're planning on introducing the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance. And today, I can announce that we've reached agreements with all provinces and territories to lower rent by 75% for small businesses that have been strongly affected by COVID-19 for April, May, and June. The government will cover 50% of that reduction with a property owner covering the rest. If you are a small business that has been strongly affected by COVID-19 and you're paying less than $50,000 per month on rent, you'll be eligible to receive this support. It will also be there for non-profits and charitable organizations that are struggling right now. We'll also have more to say in the coming days about rent support for larger businesses. Last week, I announced our intention to introduce the Canada Emergency Rent Assistance for Commercial Rent Assistance. And today, I can confirm that we've reached agreements with all provinces and territories to lower rent by 75% for small businesses that have been strongly affected by COVID-19 for April, May, and June. The government will cover 50% of that reduction while the property owners will cover 25%. It's a support that will be available for small businesses that have been strongly affected by COVID-19 and whose rent is lower than $50,000. The organizations of welfare and non-profit organizations will also be eligible to the program. And soon, we'll have other news for larger businesses. Later today, I want to stay with the Prime Minister of the provinces and territories, and we have several things planned. Among other things, we will continue our conversations regarding the gradual reopening of the economy. Canada is a huge country, and it is clear that the pandemic has not hit all regions in the same way. We are a federation. That means that we have to adapt our response to the reality of each province and each territory. But the reopening of the economy, no matter the province or territory, will have to be gradual. To ensure that the progress that has been made is not lost, there is an important national court work that must be done at the national level. We will therefore work with provincial and territorial governments to set up principles and recommendations that will ensure the safety of people. But I want to be very clear about the reopening of the country. It will not happen the next day. It must take a step at the same time. If you do not want us to start over again, everyone must continue to be vigilant and follow the recommendations of experts. Since the beginning of this crisis, we have learned about the ways in which companies operate, we have learned about the ways in which companies operate by countries like South Korea, Japan or Singapore. But we see in some places the challenges associated with reopening. We must therefore be very careful. Each place could have a distinct approach. So if you see in the news that another province is planning to support the rules, you must continue to follow the guidelines that apply to the place where you are. Otherwise, there is a real risk of losing all the work that we have done so far. As I said yesterday, we are witness to disturbing scenes in the residents' for elderly people and the long-term care centers across the country. It is unacceptable, and our government will be there to help. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be deployed following the official request from Quebec and Ontario, requests that the Minister of Public Security will accept. The work of recognition is underway in these two provinces, and we are determining the needs to be met and the next steps to follow. Quebecers, Canadians, and all Canadians can count on us during this crisis. We deploy the army to provide urgent support and help the provinces to regain control of the situation. But we know that this is not a long-term solution. We also offer billions of dollars to the provinces to benefit the salaries of essential workers and ensure that our elderly receive the care they deserve. As I said yesterday, what we are witnessing in long-term care facilities across the country is extremely troubling. It is unacceptable, and our government will be there to help the provinces. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be deployed after the Minister of Public Safety received and approved two formal requests from Ontario and Quebec. Reconnaissance work is underway in both provinces. We're identifying what needs to be done and mapping out next steps. As I said many times before, we will be there for Quebecers, Ontarians, and all Canadians during this crisis. We're deploying the military to provide emergency support to help provinces regain control of the situation. But we all know that this is only a short-term solution. We're also offering billions of dollars to provinces to top up the pay of essential workers and make sure that elderly Canadians get the support they deserve. Later today, I'll be meeting with the First Ministers to continue our work on supporting Canadians during this time. We're also going to talk about reopening parts of the economy. Canada is a vast country, and some regions have been hit harder than others during this pandemic. We're a federation, so we have to adapt our response to the realities and challenges of each province and territory. But I want to be clear that getting back to normal will not happen overnight. It's going to take time. It won't be as simple or as easy as flipping a switch. It'll require a lot of coordination at the national level, and our government will be there to do that work. We will be working with the provinces and territories to establish principles and guidelines to start reopening the economy safely. Over the coming weeks, you'll hear more talk about reopening, but you need to know we're not out of the woods. It's absolutely critical that everyone continues to follow local public health instructions as we move forward. For now, these instructions are the same for all Canadians. No matter where you live, you should be staying home as much as you possibly can. You should be washing your hands regularly, and you should always keep a safe distance of two metres from others. That is the only way for us to make it through together. Thank you very much.
