Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's planning to call Parliament back for another sitting to pass more measures to help the Canadian economy through the COVID-19 pandemic.

He says approving perhaps the biggest social program in Canadian history needs to be a team effort.

Conservatives have pointed out that the emergency legislation Parliament has already passed didn't allow for the scale of the wage-subsidy program the Liberals are promising to help employers
keep people on their payrolls.

Trudeau and federal ministers also spoke about how Canadians will likely need to follow measures like physical distancing and other restrictions for months, but that all depends on how Canadians act now.

Dr. Theresa Tam said no matter what scenario or model you look at, none of them are good and will test the capacity of our healthcare system which is why we need to act now and stay the course on following measures in place.
