Trudeau said his government is working with opposition parties to pass the "largest economic measures Canada has seen since World War II," with the House rejoining tomorrow. Trudeau said he would be speaking at the House of Commons rather than giving his daily address from Ottawa.
Trudeau also announced that he believed the Emergency Measures Act was not necessary for the time being, and hoped the government would not need to enact it.
Trudeau also announced that he would be taking some personal time off with his wife Sophie and his children, on Easter Sunday and Monday.
