 I want to begin by recognizing that a lot of people have now been stuck at home for a week or more because of COVID-19. If that's starting to take a toll, it's understandable. But we can't afford to stop now. I want to be clear. Social distancing, physical distancing, is the single best way to keep the people around you safe. What does that mean? It means keeping two metres between yourself and someone else. It means avoiding groups. It means staying home as much as possible. If you choose to ignore that advice, if you choose to get together with people or go to crowded places, you're not just putting yourself at risk, you're putting others at risk too. You're elderly relative who's in a senior's home or your friend with a pre-existing condition. Our nurses and doctors on the front lines. Our workers stalking shelves at a grocery store. They need you to make the right choices. They need you to do your part. We've all seen the pictures online of people who seem to think they're invincible. Well you're not. Enough is enough. Go home and stay home. This is what we all need to be doing. And we're going to make sure this happens, whether by educating people more on the risks or by enforcing the rules if that's needed. Nothing that could help is off the table. Today we're launching federal advertising campaigns. You'll see faces that you know and trust, people from our cultural sector, getting out the recommendations from our healthcare workers. Not having heard this message won't be an excuse. We're reaching everyone. Listening is your duty and staying home is your way to serve. Every day there are more and more people who step up and heed this call. Just yesterday Team Canada and the Canadian Paralympic Team made the tough decision not to send athletes to the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer. I know this is heartbreaking for so many people. Students, coaches, staff and fans. But this was absolutely the right call and everyone should follow their lead. No matter who you are, if you're doing your part, I want to say thank you. You are saving lives. And when it gets hard know that your government is right there with you. On Wednesday we unveiled an 82 billion dollar plan for people and businesses affected by the virus. If you're worried about making ends meet, we're putting more money in your pocket. If you own a small business, we're helping you bridge to better times. Tomorrow the House of Commons will reconvene to pass emergency legislation and put this plan in motion. For farmers and people across the agri-food business, I know these are hard times too. So we're also opening up five billion dollars in additional lending capacity. Starting today, farmers and producers can apply through Farm Credit Canada for the support they need to keep food growing and get it onto our tables. On that note, I want to say thank you to people right across the entire food sector. Day in and day out, you grow, transport and stock the food that feed our families. Last week we also announced a plan to mobilize industry so our hospitals have the medical support and equipment they need. Later today I will have a call with the First Ministers to discuss our continued coordination on quarantine and self-isolation. We're working together to ensure that everyone has what they need, whether that's equipment for testing or medical supplies. This evening, the Premier's and I will also talk about continuing to move forward with measures to support families and small businesses to ensure our economy rebounds. For Canadians stranded abroad, we're working with airlines to get people home. People should be returning by commercial means while they're still available. Air Canada, WestJet, Air Transat and Sunwing all have flights this week. As of today, we've secured authorizations for Air Canada to operate three flights for this week for Canadians in Peru and there will be two more flights in the coming days from Morocco. We've also helped secure an Air Canada flight from Spain as well as Air Transat flights including two from Honduras and one each from Ecuador, El Salvador and Guatemala. If you're a Canadian abroad, register with the government now so we can send you updates and contact you. You need to do this if you haven't done it already. Since the beginning of this crisis, we use all the tools at our disposal to manage the situation. We're lucky that Canadian innovators are among the best in the world and they want to be part of the solution. We invested $275 million in research on COVID-19 and vaccine development. Vaccination and antiviral treatments are options that we must absolutely pursue. We see it with the flu. Vaccines prevent people from being ill, protect the most vulnerable and make sure that fewer and fewer people get to the emergency. Today, I'm announcing that we're going to invest $192 million to support the creation and production of vaccines in Canada. We're funding a long-term solution against COVID-19 at home. We're going to sign an agreement with the company Abselra of Vancouver to support their work in order to treat and prevent COVID-19. We also work with the company MediCago de Québec to produce and test vaccines. At the same time, we also have funds for vaccines and infectious disease organizations from the University of Saskatchewan for vaccine development and clinical tests. Canada needs the necessary capacity to produce mass treatment as quickly as possible. Today, I can announce that we're providing $192 million to directly support vaccine development and production in Canada. We're investing in a long-term solution to COVID-19 right here at home. Our government will be signing an agreement with Vancouver-based Abselra to support their work on drugs to prevent and treat COVID-19. We're also working with Quebec City-based MediCago for vaccine testing and production. At the same time, we're providing funding for the University of Saskatchewan's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization for Development and Clinical Trials. Once there are promising options, Canada needs the capacity to mass produce treatments as quickly as possible. That's why we're investing in the National Research Council of Canada's facility in Montreal to prepare for the rollout. These are critical steps forward, but we have to remember that vaccines won't be ready overnight. They will take months to develop and test. So while that's happening, we need to work to mitigate the impacts of this virus. And luckily, we have the tools we need right here at home. Blue Dot in Toronto was among the first in the world to identify the spread of COVID-19 coming in nine days ahead of the World Health Organization's public warning. We've signed a contract to use this Canadian software to model the disease. It will help us track and therefore slow the spread. Minister Baines has also sent a call to action to every university, college, polytechnic, and CGEP in the country. Their labs have the resources and expertise to be part of this fight. We've asked them to identify equipment they've got, like masks and ventilators. At the same time, we're looking at innovative solutions they can be part of, including 3D printing of medical supplies. Many institutions have already stepped up, and many more will do the same. If you need more information, please go to buyandsell.gc.ca. We need all hands on deck. We have all played a part in the fight against COVID-19, even if you're not an ambulance or a researcher, you can save lives. Staying at home is the most possible. Now, at a distance of at least two metres from each other, if you have to go out, you can save lives. Staying at home is the most possible. Now, at a distance of at least two metres from each other, if you have to go out, you can make all the difference. That's how we can protect ourselves and protect our nurses, our doctors and our health professionals who take care of those in need. We need to follow the recommendations of our public health agencies. We need to trust them and listen to them. Yesterday, I had a moment when I spoke to children directly. Today, I have a thought for our children. We all have dear beings who are at home, who are very vulnerable. Call them and tell them that you love them. I think of my beautiful father, the father of Sophie, Jean, who has followed treatments for cancer for a few months, so we didn't see him often. But today, it's his birthday. Happy birthday, Jean-Jean. He is 77 years old today. Think of our years. Think of our dear beings. And do all you can to keep them safe. That's how we're going to stop COVID-19. Thank you for doing your part. And know that our government will continue to work day and night to support you. Together, we're going to get out of here. Thank you.
