Mr. Speaker, Australia announced that it is implementing a contingency plan to address the rapid spread of the coronavirus.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the decision today, as he expects a global pandemic to be declared within days. Even Canada's chief public health officer, Theresa Tam, told reporters Tuesday that the virus is likely to cause a pandemic.
There is no need to panic, but Canadians want reassurance.
Can the Prime Minister confirm today that there is a contingency plan ready to be activated?
