Prime Minister Trudeau says this crisis could last weeks or even months.

Parliament may be recalled to announce emergency measures.

The Federal government of Canada is planning on a massive aid package in the amount of $25 billion to help all Canadians and Canadian businesses to get through the COVID-19 crisis that was learned from CBC News-Radio Canada.

The money will be delivered through existing programs already in place including employment insurance and Canada Child Benefit. “It is going to be significant and comprehensive,” a senior government official said.
