Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held his daily COVID-19 briefing in Ottawa on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing government response to the pandemic.
Trudeau told reporters he’s “not taking anything off the table” when it comes to addressing shortcomings in Canada’s long-term care homes, but stayed tight-lipped on whether he thinks there should be a national inquiry into the state of the challenged system.
The prime minister’s comments on Wednesday follow the release of two Canadian military reports about the challenges and conditions soldiers observed in Ontario and Quebec long-term care homes hard-hit by COVID-19.
Trudeau also said in his opinion, Canadians aren't "demanding" another election right now as his government engages in an unprecedented level of peacetime spending to combat the effects of COVID-19.
In addition, Trudeau said an in-person gathering of G7 leaders would be more effective than the virtual alternative, but he wants to make sure the United States has a plan to deal with the potential COVID-19 risk first.
President Donald Trump and his White House officials have been talking in recent days about resuming plans to reconvene the G7 in or near Washington sometime next month.
