The Financial Markets have had two of their worst days on record. You talked about the governments fiscal power. Why havent we used it yet and what are you planning to do . Pm trudeau two days ago we announced a 1 billion plan to help invest in health and support canadians across the country. We have put forward measures that will strengthen e. I. And help canadians. There is more to do. We dont want any canadian to have to worry about whether or not they are going to be able to pay their rent, whether or not they are going to be able to buy groceries or care for their kids or elderly family members. We need to make sure canadians have the options and the ability to follow the best Public Health advice and keep themselves safe.

But further to that in my conversations with fellow g7 leaders, we have agreed it will be important for us to coordinate had a g7 level to impact at a g7 level to impact the Global Economy. We will follow up on those in the coming days as well. Are you considering direct financial payments to canadians or industries . Pm trudeau we are looking at ways to do that including vulnerable radians who will be squeezed canadians who will be squeezed if they are not able to go to work. These are the things we are focused on. Small businesses may struggle through or will struggle through this time of economic slowdown, people choosing to stay at home. We will look at how to support them so that once we get through this difficult time, our Company Economy and canadians will continue to prosper. [speaking french] we are looking at how we can help canadians directly. Radians in the toughest situations, where there is no money coming in. Of course that could have a major impact on their ability to pay their rent, to feed their kids, to look after seniors, or to put food on the table. So we will be taking direct steps to support our canadians who are facing a tough time. We will also be attempting to provide assistance to businesses who will be going through tough weeks as we respond to the threat to Public Health. Measurese announcing this afternoon that will be done by the minister of finance and early next week that will be further measures to directly help canadians as well. Obviously we wish good health to all canadians but if you are to fall ill, members of your cabinet for instance, what is the plan for governing . Pm trudeau we have been busy with yesterday and today. We will continue to work from home and remotely to do the important things that need to be done to keep canadians safe. We have an exceptional cabinet that is working hard on all of these issues as well. We have extraordinary public servants. We will continue to do the work that needs to be done to keep canadians safe while following all of the directions by public Health Officials. I dont think that indicates a contingency plan in place whether you were to fall sick. I am curious what people say you dont need to be tested. Pm trudeau there have always been contingency plans for ministers who are sick or even a Prime Minister who has fallen ill. We will continue to follow all of those correct contingency plans. I am continuing to work extremely hard from home. In terms of advice i have gotten from medical personals, it was explained to me that professionals, it was explained to me that as long as i dont show symptoms there is no value in having me tested. [speaking french] [translated] while i am following the health care professionals, they have explained if i dont have symptoms of the coronavirus, it is not worthwhile having me tested for the virus. There are canadians who are perhaps wondering, you are a healthy man, you might have covid19, you might not have any symptoms at all. You are the Prime Minister. You continue to share a house with why are you not getting tested systematically on a daily basis . The advice is as follows. If i am not showing any symptoms , not feeling any symptoms it is not worth having me tested. She returned from london last week, write . You met many people during the week, toronto, ottawa, throughout the week. Dont you feel that you might be a vector for the transmission or the spread of the virus . Ranslated] i[t talked about that and given i have no symptoms, not showing symptoms of covid19, while that means really that based on the advice, there is no risk of people i have worked with over the past week. Glish] the fact i have expressed absolutely no symptoms means any when have engaged with throughout this week has not been put at risk. I am wondering given the warnings canada is giving about traveling abroad, should canadians be traveling between provinces and cities given how different the city virus is spreading . Pm trudeau i think people need to make responsible decisions and check with their medical professionals and their own travel plans in terms of what makes sense for them. I know canadians will listen to the advice of experts and make decisions that are appropriate for them and for their family. Can you describe what yourself isolation means for you and your family and your wife . You are outside right now. Is your wife still going outside . As are many canadians, we are following carefully the advice public Health Officials are telling us in terms of what we can do and what we shouldnt do. What does that mean . Pm trudeau that means i am in isolation as are my children and my wife is in quarantine. In your interview with President Trump, was there any question about access of canadians across the border . Do you have any concerns given the u. S. Response about americans coming here . Pm trudeau we have been working closely with our counterparts in the United States to coordinate our efforts at the border and to align our efforts. There is ongoing conversations that we will continue to have as the situation evolves but i am confident to work closely with the americans to keep people in north america and america safe. One piece of news that comes out of this situation is the new nafta has been fully passed and ratified and is waiting it should happen quickly. Could you describe your situation domestically in detail . Is your wife in this house, or all three kids . How are you going to keep them occupied . Pm trudeau the kids have been doing legos. My wife has been on the phone to friends and family. I have been on the phone with president macron, with kevin and officials of my team as we work with the cabinet and officials of my team as we work keep canadians safe. What is your biggest concern . Pm trudeau my concern is canadians continue to follow the we have to be responsible, dont want to panic but we dont want to take this too lightly either. The middle ground will always be challenging. Tremendous confidence canadians will be able to. What are you telling your children about the heightened concern in the country, and how are you explaining some of the political decisions you are making . We are having conversations, obviously, about not to be concerned about to be a little concerned, which is why they are home today with us. We are going to continue to have thoughtful conversations, as countryup across the will be, too. Bruce thank you. I want you to walk us through has notc that c. A. D. Restricted International Travel. Countries that advocate for such a move. Pm trudeau Different Countries will have options that are suitable for their own situation. We have followed the instructions, advice, and the nations of our top public Health Officials. We will recall that a number of weeks ago, in the beginning, there was discussion on whether or not we should entirely close our orders to china, the way the United States did. We did not. We were able to manage it in a way that allowed for control and a nonspread of the virus. It gives us confidence that our public Health Officials are giving us the right recommendations for canada. On the fiscal stimulus package coming out, can you that what you can expect through the end of the crisis . Pm trudeau we are obviously focused primarily on how we are going to get money into the pockets of canadians who will needed because of the situation. We have had many, many discussions abou over the past h about the budget. Our focus right now is on thering that canadians have resources and the money to not have to stress about rent and about groceries and about childcare and about elder care at a time when they are also very worried about their health and their familys health. We will be supporting the economy and canadians at this time. [speaking foreign language] translator our priority now is the health and wellbeing of canadians. We do not want any canadian to be worried about their ability two feede rent for their kids or to look after elderly loved ones. We are going to do everything that needs to be done to provide help during this difficult period.
