Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland will chair committee to mitigate health, economic risks
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has struck a new cabinet committee to co-ordinate Canada's response to COVID-19, warning that the global outbreak could take a heavy economic toll on Canadian industries such as travel, tourism and manufacturers that rely on a Chinese supply chain.
Speaking at an event in Saint-Jérôme, Que., Wednesday, Trudeau said many people and industries are seeing "challenging situations" because of the new coronavirus that is spreading around the world.
"This is not a situation that Canada created, but it is a situation we are going through and we will continue to work with our partners, with communities, with industry to ensure that we're minimizing the impact and the disruption on Canadians," he said.
Trudeau pointed to the travel and tourism sector, as well as any businesses that rely on parts or supplies from China, as particularly vulnerable to a slowdown.
