Officials believed in late summer that an economic recovery would not magically happen if lockdowns and public health restrictions disappeared, a newly obtained federal document shows.

The internal briefing note says a key to recovery is the level of trust people have in their government's ability to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Countries that haven't kept COVID-19 under control, including where restrictions have been loose or non-existent, "have had a much more uneven recovery." "Restoring public confidence in the economy requires systematic, widespread and rapid testing and contact tracing -- something we have been calling for since the spring," said Robert Asselin, senior vice-president for policy at the Business Council of Canada.

Aiding in that rebound were low levels of COVID-19 transmission, which suggests "Canada has managed to balance both the health and economic risks related to the pandemic relatively well," the briefing note says. The restrictions have hit some sectors harder than others. The briefing note foreshadowed how provinces and municipalities may have to more readily close or limit hours for some businesses, such as restaurants and bars, "and will need to be equipped to rapidly identify and trace outbreaks."

While GC is focused on economic recovery within Canada and around the world—little is known about recovery of the Federal Government’s coffers—the “Elephant in the Room.” Within 6-12 mths. we’ll likely have a reality check on the deficit’s impact on our lives going forward. Yikes

what do you expect from commies of

Be a good start

Right!!! So smart! How are these imbeciles

Wake up! It is exactly the road to recovery you fools!

it is the only way! wake up and rise up Canadians!

Get the fuck outa here ...!

Political spin. Simple economics no jobs no one spends jobs people will start spending again. Government hand outs with lower income taxes paid to government. Higher taxes later. Slower recovery. Only Answer smaller government and less services.

Yeah because of punitive taxes from the Federal government.

FACT...keeping things locked up will sure be the road to many bankruptcies, economic downturn!

Government by 'Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true/Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you...'

Not with Trudeau's carbon taxes, the inevitable collapse of Canadian agriculture because of those taxes, or the continuing struggle to suppress Alberta's energy and mining sectors.

So we should just stay locked down, curl up in our holes and die then. Got it.

Lol how do you figure it doesn’t? Hmmmm people going out and about spending money again. Seems like recovering the economy to me. Maybe in the New Years you guys can be more credible and not the joke of a network you’ve become.

Yup we also need Massive cuts to government size and scope

No because our governments are ALL in THIS together to implement Agenda21 Agenda2030 the GreatReset and the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA) using the Covid pLandemic. It will erase Canada culture and history and force outright government control across Canada!

Worth a try

Neither is central government planning.

What the F...?doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out shutting everything down is killing our economy !! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

It’s exactly what the IMF planned.

This is more proof the media thinks we're all stupid.

But without lifting lockdowns we will collapse. Full stop

really going balls deep on that Great Reset, eh?

So opening up the economy won't help the economy

Leaked internal breifing note says that lockdowns are good for the economy. Good one Bell Media! 😅

Trudeau and his Liberal crew blew all our money and are planning to tax away the rest. How could we possibly recover from this mess? Pass that on to your children!

Thanks CCP

Regardless, they are illegal and immoral. End this tyranny NOW. 'Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains' Jean Rousseau

Our federal government also suggested our budget would balance itself so.... their documents or notes as you put it (CTV) are pretty much only good for burning.... minus the future carbon tax placed on recreational fires (campfires 🔥).

Who are these fucking jokers running out country?! People being allowed to work, to get out of the house and in to the stores is the fastest way to an economic recovery. Only these government elites think that hogtying Canadians to government support is the way back. So wrong!!!

What a joke ...

100% better chance than staying locked down.

Your kidding right? You only need to look south to see it helps in the States,

“Finance note”. What a headline
