OTTAWA -- Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says that the Public Health Agency of Canada can choose how it updates Canadians on the state of COVID-19 during this election, amid questions over the absence of pandemic or vaccine briefings since the election was called.
“During a democratic event like an election, our government and our officials continue to work every single day to keep Canadians safe,” Trudeau said. Asked about the absence of the federal pandemic updates while on the campaign trail, neither Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole or NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh could say whether they thought these briefings should resume. Both instead focused their critiques on Trudeau for calling the election when he did.
During this period, government decisions and announcements are meant to be restrained to routine, non-controversial, emergency or urgent matters in the public interest, easily reversible by a new government, or agreed to by the opposition parties.
because Trudeau put Tam in the cupboard to not make him look like an idiot for calling an election during a '4th wave'

CTV, if you don’t report this than you are also participating in this crime by suppressing information. Suppressing is collusion!
Well come on its election time they r too busy promising everything to every group, or trending issue to worry about the pandemic they need a majority win so they can be even less accountable & keep printing $$
Tam is basically a Liberal. They could not come to the mic fast enough before the election was called, now crickets because the told told her to sit silent
Everyone bails on Trudolt.
Doesn’t that come from the invisible OHIP guy?
Anyone who thinks this is an issue should remember who called the election in the middle of a pandemic.
