Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed media on Sunday outside Rideau Cottage in his daily coronavirus briefing.

Trudeau started by extending his condolences to those who lost their lives in the Canadian helicopter crash that saw six dead, as it's the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic.

Trudeau announced $240 million to expanding already-existing online health care websites and resources, to aid in creating virtual platforms for both physical and mental health care.

The prime minister also announced that his government would be providing $175 million to Canadian health and vaccine research company AbCellera, who Trudeau says have seen "very promising" results.

Trudeau also announced that parents could look forward to seeing an additional $300 per child in this month's Canada Child Benefit.

Trudeau touched on criticism from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who had said that Trudeau's campaign for a gun buy-back program are resources that could be better allocated for better border security and smuggling, Trudeau said that his government would be moving forward with "stronger measures around borders" and safe storage.

"We know there's more to do, but we also know that there's no place in Canada for weapons designed to kill the largest amount of people in the shortest amount of time," said Trudeau.

When asked about the growing consensus from global intelligence that COVID-19 was leaked from a Wuhan government lab, Trudeau said Canada continued to work with the Five Eyes program to help "find answers," saying that it was "too early to draw conclusions."
