Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Sunday the House of Commons will be recalled on Tuesday at 12 p.m. in order to pass emergency legislation to help fight COVID-19.

Trudeau made the announcement from Rideau Cottage, where he is currently in self-isolation.

Trudeau said this will allow the government to “put their plan into motion,” including up to $82 billion in support for families, workers and businesses impacted by the pandemic.

“I know that together we can protect Canadians, save jobs and set the groundwork for our economy to rebound after this crisis,” he said.

Trudeau also spoke directly to kids across Canada and thanked them for doing their part by following the guidelines including social distancing and washing your hands.

Trudeau also addressed why he hasn't taken more extreme steps like invoking the Emergencies Act.
