OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on Wednesday for a “Team Canada effort” to beat the coronavirus outbreak, saying Parliament should be brought back so all legislators could approve a massive aid package.
Although the House of Commons was suspended last month after approving a deal to give Ottawa broad spending powers for six months, Trudeau said lawmakers needed to have their say. “The magnitude of the measures we know are necessary means that it would be a good idea to bring Parliament back to work on them,” she told a news conference.Andrew Scheer, leader of the official opposition Conservative Party, had earlier accused Trudeau of being too slow to react.
The number of deaths in Canada jumped to 112 from 89 on Tuesday, with confirmed cases rising to 9,560 from 7,708, according to a tally of provincial announcements compiled by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
