Speaking outside his Ottawa residence, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday that businesses facing a rent crunch will need to hold on through the COVID-19 pandemic and help with an eventual economic recovery, instead of closing up and slowing the rebound.
He said the government “really hopes” commercial landlords will apply for a federal program launching next week that would give companies a break on the rent, warning that they may find themselves out of cash in the future if they evict tenants now.
Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw and Premier Jason Kenney provided an update on Wednesday on the province’s ongoing efforts to combat COVID-19.
Kenney announced that the province would be entering Phase 1 of their relaunch strategy starting Thursday.
In all areas of the province, with the exception of Calgary and Brooks, retail businesses, hairstyling and barber shops, museums and art galleries, dental procedures, day camps and day cares will be allowed to reopen as of May 14 with limits on occupancies. Places of worship and funeral services would also be able to reopen under “strict guidelines.” Restaurants would be required to have seating at 50 per cent capacity.
The federal government is offering bridge financing for big Canadian businesses across all sectors to help them keep employees on the payroll through the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are conditions attached — including a requirement that companies receiving the loans disclose their environmental plans.

The prime minister has outlined measures to start a gradual easing of the lockdown in England, while warning of the danger of a second surge of the pandemic. In a television address Boris Johnson said it was the right time to “update” the government’s message in England, from “stay at home” to “stay alert”.
But Labour warned that the new message lacked clarity. And the “stay at home” message is not being changed in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
The Prime Minister’s plan urges anyone who can’t work from home to return to work, but to avoid using public transport if possible.
Boris Johnson has set out his “conditional plan” to ease the coronavirus lockdown, lifting restrictions on exercise and work.
In a pre-recorded address to the nation, the Prime Minister said the government wants to “encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise” – provided they stick to social distancing guidelines and stay two metres apart.
And in a bid to kickstart the economy, Mr Johnson said anyone who cannot work from home – such as those in construction and manufacturing – should be “actively encouraged” to go to work from Monday.
Boris Johnson announces the next phase of Britain’s plan against coronavirus, including a possible timetable of easing of restrictions.
