Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke in the House of Commons on Saturday as the government passed a wage subsidy bill to help mitigate the economic impact of the novel coronavirus.
The Trudeau government struck the deal with opposition parties to swiftly approve a massive $73-billion wage subsidy program aimed at helping businesses and workers survive the economic ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Passage of legislation needed to implement the program was assured Saturday after Conservatives dropped their attempt to tie the bill to the longer-term question of how Parliament should function in the midst of a national health crisis.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered his called daily address on COVID-19 as Parliament is expected to pass Bill C-14.

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.
Speaking from his home in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discusses the federal government’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. In his remarks, the prime minister provides details concerning the federal wage subsidy for businesses and non-profits that have seen declining revenues due to COVID-19.
The Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenburg have announced businesses will receive a fortnightly wage subsidy up to $1,500 per employee as part of a $130 billion Federal Government bid to prevent millions of people from losing their jobs to the coronavirus pandemic.
