St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle says Canada’s $82-billion COVID-19 response plan is a message to Canadians — focus on your health first because the government has your back.

“No one is going to be left behind,” Bittle said, following economic measures announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Wednesday.

“The goal is to make sure no one has to choose between staying home and taking care of a loved one versus going to work. We are going to continue to work to ensure all Canadians are taken care of.”
