Watch: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces $14B for economic restartPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is working on a "safe restart agreement" with provinces and territories and providing them with $14 billion to help them reopen their economies. "We really are approaching this by saying to the provinces and territories, 'We understand that a safe restart is essential and that it is expensive,'" she said. We are going to be there to support Canadians across the country and that is what we're doing here." Freeland also stressed that the federal funds are meant to help with the first six to eight months of economic recovery.
