Global News: In a first for Canadian Parliamentary democracy, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took questions from Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer via video link, moderated by the Speaker of the House as would be the case during Question Period in the House of Commons.
Scheer questioned Trudeau on several issues directly related to the novel coronavirus outbreak, including the delivery of vital Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to frontline healthcare workers.
About 90 per cent of the country's 338 MPs have dialled in to Canada's first-ever virtual House of Commons session.
On Tuesday morning, the federal health agency reported 49,014 confirmed cases of the coronavirus across the country, and 2,766 deaths linked to the virus so far.
