production is helping to amass a made-in-Canada stockpile.

Highlighting some of the deals already signed for supplies to start rolling off of domestic manufacturing lines, Trudeau mentioned that more than 30,000 ventilators are being fast-tracked, a far higher number than previously stated.Trudeau also said that more than 20 companies are helping make medical gowns including brands Arc’teryx and Canada Goose. That includes AutoLiv, a company that’s looking to make gowns out of material it typically uses to make airbags.

The government continues to describe the current international efforts to procure medical supplies as a “Wild West,” but more shipments of essential protective gear are set to arrive this week. As of Monday evening, Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez said that the Liberals had provided a draft copy of the proposed legislation to the opposition parties. Expected to be the central focus of the legislation is allowing for the expanded wage subsidy which the government has called the largest economic program in Canadian history.Trudeau said that House leaders will be speaking throughout the day to reach an agreement on quickly passing the legislation.

A leader that's failing at his job miserably

He preparing for us worse case and reporters questioning him should ask other important questions or watch how trump is handling it and need they have ventilators.

Better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them. If they go unused here, some other country will surely be able to use them before this pandemic is over.

The naysayers don’t vote. Just sit at home and whine. Good job Mr. Prime Minister. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

My company can provide disposable KN95 masks and medical protective suits. All of our products have been certificated by authorities in China, Europe and America. Pls PM me if you have these needs, thanks.

Would you rather have too many or not enough? What an inane complaint.

Why are illegal border crossings still happening. Try asking Blackface some tough questions you bunch of liberal hacks.

4 months ago when they found out about this preparation was not an option. Only now that people have fallen sick or died is this PM reacting... he’s a twat-waffle...

Something really fuckin fishy is happening.

Who cares

No idea when though, same with the ‘millions and millions’ of masks on their way. This idiot is so dangerous to Canadians

Let's just hope this isn't his version of 'Shovel ready jobs' CCPVirus

Ready in three years.

Respect for Justin Trudeau. Better to have and not need, than need and not have.

Ontario currently has 187 COVID-19 patients on a ventilator. That's a long was from 30,000. Do we anticipate 1 M cases? Or is this a feel good exercise to cover for epic Liberal failures to protect Canadians?

can you imagine the US MSM response to Trudeau if he was a Republican , considering his non answers and refusal to provide any numbers generally? The Canadian media is AWOL

Jesus wept. Honestly, are some of these people asking questions actually qualified journalists?

He refused to talk about decision on border from March 16, and he started his current self isolation on March 12? So weak. DirtyButts and TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice

Incompetence

I mean.... heaven forbid, we should have unused capacity in our health care system, that we could use if the situation warranted it.

Don’t give any to the usa

If his (and previous) governments had not violated the social contract we would not have been in this position to begin with. It's now evident they can't even meet the most basic of their responsibilities to society

Translation: we found a way to inject more money into Bombardier that the average Canadian will never know the results of
