Madam Speaker, as I stated at the outset, the health and safety of all Canadians, both those in Canada and those we are bringing home, is our top priority.
We are taking action to return Canadians home from Hubei province, China, while ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to prevent and limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Canadians can be confident that their government, working hand in hand with our international and domestic partners and stakeholders, is monitoring this public health event both globally and here at home. We stand ready to respond efficiently and effectively to any change in the situation in order to protect the health and well-being of all Canadians.
