Prime Minister Trudeau announced an $82B aid package for individuals and businesses ($27B in direct support, $55B in tax deferrals).

Our world, our country, our community, our business and our family have been exposed to an occurrence which has not happened before in current times. We have read about plagues in historical times and were not really expecting that a like occurrence could take place in our modern times. Whether we expected it or not we now have to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 on our lives. This is not an event which is happening in another part of the world, it is impacting the whole world and accordingly requires a whole world response.
