Prime Minister Trudeau's Office has released a read out about a call taking place between the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader Erin O'Toole. The issue is that this call never occurred, and it seems that the PMO released a readout before the call is meant to take place at 5:15PM.

In the readout, the PMO stated that "the Prime Minister also raised concerns around COVID-19 misinformation being promoted by Conservative Members of Parliament, given Conservative MPs recently downplayed the deaths of Canadians in Alberta due to COVID-19 and compared COVID-19 to the flu." Once again, this is untrue as the call never took place.

Soon after this news was released, Melanie Paradis, the Director of Communications for CPC Leader Erin O'Toole, tweeted that she is in fact sitting with Mr. O'Toole and awaiting the 5:15PM call.

Michelle Rempel also corroborated this, as she too was with Mr. O'Toole the entire time.

Soon after Twitter called out the release for being false, many on Twitter criticized the PMO for disseminating misinformation.  

According to the PMO, the call is still scheduled to take place, and a real readout is expected to follow suit.
