 Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Over the last two weeks, we've seen our women and men in uniform step up to the plate again and again. In seniors' homes, in northern communities, they're there for where we need them most. And because they respond to the call of duty without hesitation, whenever they're called upon, it can be easy to forget the toll this work can take. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces have always been there to do tough, dangerous jobs. So after a lifetime of service, far too many veterans live with chronic pain. Today, we are launching the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian veterans at McMaster University. This centre will focus on national research, training and education to provide veterans with the support they deserve. No one, least of all those who have worn the maple leaf, should be without the care they need. Later today, I'll also be meeting with nurses here in Ottawa to thank them for their outstanding work. I know I speak for all Canadians when I say that we are incredibly grateful to the women and men who are keeping us safe right now. Nos hommes et nos femmes en uniform ont toujours été là pour nous et on doit être là pour eux aussi. Aujourd'hui, on inaugure le Centre d'Excellence sur la douleur chronique pour les anciens combattants canadiens à l'Université McMaster. Ce centre sera accès sur la recherche, la formation et l'éducation à travers le pays pour offrir aux anciens combattants les services dont ils ont besoin. A tous ceux qui ont servi le Canada, merci. Tout le pays vous en est reconnaissant et on est là pour vous soutenir. Over the last two months, a lot of Canadians have faced very challenging situations and very difficult choices. Just take workers in the fisheries industry. You can't harvest lobster from inside your house. So that leaves you trying to figure out how to either space people out on a fishing boat or cancel your operations. It's not an easy call to make. On top of that, prices and demand have gone down, putting financial pressure on fishers and their families. Taken together, this adds up to a really tough time. So I want you to know that we're listening, that your local MPs are making sure your concerns are heard and above all that help is on the way. Today I can announce that we are investing almost four hundred and seventy million dollars to support fish harvesters. First of all, we're creating the fish harvesters benefit. If you're expecting a 25% drop in income this season, you'll get support to cover 75% of your losses, up to about $10,000. And as a reminder, if you qualify for the Canada Emergency Wage subsidy instead, remember that we'll be extending it beyond June. We're also introducing additional non-repayable grants of up to $10,000 for fish harvesters who own their own business and need support to bridge to better times. And for workers who are worried about next year, we will change employment insurance rules so that fish harvesters can apply for EI benefits based on the earnings of previous years. This all builds on the investments we've made for fish and seafood processors. And for farmers and aquaculture fisheries, we're also launching a hundred million dollar Agriculture and Food Business Solutions Fund through Farm Credit Canada. This is yet another option to help agri-food companies facing unexpected financial strain. Whether you're a fisher, a food processor, or a farmer, we've got your back. And I know all Canadians do too. And everyone who wants to show their support, buy Canadian. Pick up some Canadian cheese to help out a local dairy farmer. Have a fish fry or buy Canadian lobster. Not only will it taste great, but it'll help the people who keep putting their food on our plates. Several industries go through difficult times, and that of fishing, and they don't escape. Not only do people have to slow down or even stop their activities to protect their workers, but the price and demand for seafood has also fallen. That's why we're going to install a fishing loan. If you're a fisher who's waiting for a 25 percent return this season, this measure will be there for you. We could cover up to 75 percent of your losses, up to the competition of around $10,000. And for people who are eligible for the emergency wages, we're going to extend the program beyond June, as we announced last week. We're also going to offer other non-payment loans, a maximum value of $10,000 for the fishermen who own their own businesses and need help to go through this difficult time. And for the workers who are worried about the coming year, we're also going to change the employment insurance rules so that the fishermen can ask for employment insurance loans depending on the income they earned in the previous years. You feed our families. We're listening to what you need to go through the crisis. We're here for you. I'm going to talk about what we do to support the Autochtones people who are facing special difficulties during the pandemic. We have allocated more than $306 million to offer non-payment loans and non-payment contributions to the Autochtones companies. For students of the first nations and students of Inuit and Métis, we are offering a support of more than $75 million in addition to helping young people find a job in their community this summer. And for women and children of Autochtones who are fleeing violence, we have invested $10 million in emergency refugees. We have made important progress, but we know that there is still work to be done. Since day one, our government has been engaging with First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation leaders in the fight against this virus. In places like Northern Saskatchewan that are dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks, it's become very clear that communities need this work to continue. That's why yesterday we announced support for the Meadowlake Tribal Council and Métis Nation Saskatchewan for their pandemic response plan. Through this plan, we're partnering with communities to provide over $2.3 million for everything from food to supplies. We all want the same thing, to keep people safe, and we will continue coordinating to make sure that happens. I want to end today by recognizing that the Maylong weekend is coming up. It will be different than normal because lots of places, including our national parks, are still closed. But this isn't forever. Canadians have been doing the right things these past many weeks, and that's why we can announce today some good news for the weeks ahead. As of the beginning of June, some national parks will be partially reopening so that people in the area can use trails and green spaces where physical distancing is possible. Getting fresh air is important, but we all have to be responsible about it. We have to be prepared to make adjustments as needed. That's why, with the weather getting better, we're bringing in new regulations on boating as of June 1st to protect vulnerable communities in the north. No pleasure craft will be permitted to operate in Canada's Arctic coastal waters, or in the coastal areas of northern Quebec and Labrador. Of course, this ban does not include boats used for essential fishing and hunting or for local community use. National parks will remain closed in the weekend, but some will reopen June 1st. You will be able to take advantage of green spaces and green spaces by respecting physical distancing. But we have to be careful, and we have to be ready to adapt to new circumstances. That's why, from June 1st, pleasure boats will not be able to enter Canada's Arctic coastal waters, or northern Quebec and Labrador. That's what we have to do to protect each other. We must remember that it's not always the case. And if everyone is doing their part, we will go through it. Thank you.
