Earlier today, Ministers Blair, Hi Do and Garneau announced that Canada has advised Canadians to curtail nonessential international travel and that the cruise season is suspended until July and that we're bringing in additional screening measures at airports.

We're also streamlining overseas arrivals to be better positioned for screening.

Yesterday we saw many provinces take strong steps to keep people safe.

They're doing what needs to be done to protect the public and I want to thank them for their exemplary work.

Later today I will have a call with the premieres and indigenous leaders to discuss the latest developments and coordinate our efforts, including the over $1,000,000,000 Cove IT 19 response Fund which provides money to the provinces and territories to support preparation and mitigation.

These are significant steps and we will do more the provinces and territories air facing various levels of risk.

But we will make sure that we align our response across the country addressing Cove.

It 19 must be a Team Canada effort to keep Canadians safe to mitigate the economic impacts of the virus.

All levels of government are working together.

We are coordinating our efforts were following the situation very closely and we're pulling out all the stops.

I know that you're worried you're worried about your health, about your family's health, about your job, your savings about paying rent.

I know that you're concerned about uncertainty in the global economy.

The steps being taken to keep your safe have an economic impact.

But what is also true is that we are in the enviable position of having significant fiscal firepower available to support you.

This is in addition to the measures we've already taken.

The finance minister is also in constant communication with his international counterparts to find ways to work together to mitigate the impacts of the virus on the global economy.

He will have further announcements shortly this afternoon.

The agreement we reached with other parties to suspend the House today also still gives us the flexibility to do the things we need to do in order to support Canadians.

No one should have to worry about paying rent, buying groceries or additional childcare because of Cove it 19.

The government of Canada will be introducing a significant fiscal stimulus package in the days ahead.

We will continue to make decisions based on recommendations of medical experts, public health authorities and top scientists.

We understand that we have taken significant measures over the past weeks and months to ensure that Canadians are kept safe and to slow the spread of the virus.

We will continue to make determinations about how best to do that based on the recommendations of experts.

 We're not closing the door to any further steps, but we will make those decisions based on what science tells us.
