Chrystia Freeland calls for ‘whole of country’ response to prevent spread of coronavirus GlobePolitics

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Health Minister Patty Hajdu, both seen here at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa on March 4, 2020, said at the news conference that all Canadians have a role to play.Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said a “whole of country” approach is required to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“In terms of a formal engagement of business, labour, civil society organizations and so forth, that’s something that we are going to be talking about in the coming days. I do think, though, that the important thing to underscore is that this really does need to be a whole of country response,” she said.

“This is a significant step forward,” said Perrin Beatty, the president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, who spoke with Ms. Freeland by phone after the committee was announced. “She indicated to me that she’s anxious to work with the private sector on this.” “It is far better to be prudent and cautious as opposed to overreacting without having all the facts," he said. “If you do everything now, what happens if things don’t go bad in five months and you have created a $100-billion deficit?”
