In Ottawa, Conservative Party of Canada Leader Erin O’Toole announces details of the party’s emergency preparedness plan, which proposes partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, working with the United States to strengthen the North American supply chain, overhauling the national stockpile system, and improving domestic vaccine research and manufacturing capacity. He faces questions about the cancellation of Canada Day festivities by many cities, in the wake of recent discoveries of hundreds of unmarked graves at former residential school sites in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. He is also asked about a possible federal election being held during the COVID-19 pandemic.
