Justin Trudeau addressed the media again Sunday, this time with a focus on vulnerable communities.
"Tough times fall first and hardest on the most vulnerable in our communities," said Trudeau.
Trudeau reached out directly to children who may be feeling increased tensions around the house. With that, Trudeau announced that $7.5 million to Kids Help Phone—funding that will go towards counselors and trained volunteers.
Great idea of the PM to remind Canadian children that @KidsHelpPhone is an available resource for them to use. chat online: https://t.co/OCl2YeELQd

Trudeau also asked Canadians to donate to trusted organizations in the midst of a health crisis the likes that has never before been seen in Canada.
Trudeau also reminded Canadians that his government will be putting $157 million to help homeless Canadians, along with $50 to women's shelters.
