Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s schedule is about to change as the federal government continues to avoid invoking the Emergencies Act.
Trudeau will be at the House of Commons on Saturday as the government attempts to pass the wage subsidy bill.
The prime minister primarily has been working from home since March 12 when his wife tested positive for COVID-19. He says he will conduct his daily televised address to the country from parliament on Saturday.
