>> Andrew: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ANDREW CHANG.
AN DRAN DEGREE AN IS OFF.
THE FINANCE MINISTER FORGOT TO
REIMBURSE THE WE ORGANIZATIONS
$40,000.
>> I WANT TO A APOLOGIZE FOR
THISSER ERR ON MY PART.
>> YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT A
$41,000 EXPENSE.
HOW THAT POSSIBLE?
>> Reporter: NOW THE PRIME
MINISTER HAS AGREED TO TAKE THE
HOTSEAT.
>> CALLS FOR ACTION AFTER A CBC
INVESTIGATION INTO BULLYING AND
HARASSMENT BY THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
NOT EXACTLY PHYSICIAN
DISTANCING.
>> DON'T GO AGAINST THE HARD
WORK THIS PROVINCE HAS PUT IN.
>> Andrew: B.C. HAS NEW RULES
FOR BARS AND RESTAURANTS.
>> HOW DOES IT STOP AN AIRBORN
VIRUS.
NOT HAVING MANDATORY MASKS IN A
CLASSROOM.
>> Andrew: HOW TO GET BACK TO
SCHOOL SAFELY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
A SURPRISE ADMISSION TODAY IN
THE GROWING WE ORGANIZATION
CONTROVERSY.
FINANCE MINISTER, BULLHORN A.
WAS SEBILL MORNEAUWAS SET TO TESTIFY, WHEN
 HE
BEGAN BY TELLING M.P.s, HE,
HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER HAVE
TRAVELED AT BROAD AT WE'S
EXPENSE AND HE JUST REIMBURSED
SOME OF THAT MONEY.
THE GOVERNMENT WAS ALREADY UNDER
FIRE FOR CHOOSING WE TO
ADMINISTER A COSTLY FEDERAL
PROGRAMME.
AFTER M.P.s WERE DONE GRILLING
MORNEAU, JUSTIN TRUDEAU WILL
HIMSELF TESTIFY BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE NEXT WEEK.
THAT IS SOMETHING PRIME
MINISTERS ALMOST NEVER DO.
EVAN DYER BREAKS IT ALL DOWN FOR
US.
>> Reporter: PRIME MINISTER
TRUDEAU --
>> DID YOU MAKE A DECISION TO
TESTIFY AT THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
WANT TALKING BUT ONE LIKELY
REASON WAS BILL MORNEAU'S
UNEXPECTED ADMISSION THAT THE WE
ORGANIZATION PAID FOR TWO
MORNEAU FAMILY TRIPS IN 2017.
ONE TO KENYA AND ANOTHER WITH
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN TO
EQUADOR.
MORNEAU SAID HE PAID $52,000 TO
COVER FLIGHTS AND OTHER COSTS OF
THOSE TRIPS.
HE COULDN'T FIND RECEIPTS FOR
EXPENSES RELATED TO WE
ACTIVITIES.
>> THIS WAS, TO MY SURPRISE,
YESTERDAY, I ASKED MY ASSISTANT
TO REACH OUT TO THE WE
ORGANIZATION REGARDING THESE
TRIPS, AND FOR THEM TO PROVIDE
ME WITH THE AMOUNT OF TOTAL
EXPENSES INCURRED.
TODAY, I WROTE A CHECK IN
PAYMENT OF $41,366.
>> CANADIANS WILL FIND IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS
ORGANIZATION SHOWERED YOU WITH
$41,000 WORTH OF LUXURY AND
ACCOMMODATIONS AND THAT YOU
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
>> WE PAID FOR YOUR TRAVEL.
THAT HAS THE APPARENT PERCEPTION
OF ATTEMPTING TO BUY POLITICAL
INFLUENCE.
>> IT'S UNACCEPTABLE FOR A
FINANCE MINISTER, FOR ANY
MINISTER, TO ACCEPT ILLEGAL
TRIPS, WHICH IS WHAT MR. MORNEAU
SEEMS TO HAVE DONE AND ONLY PAID
THE MONEY BACK ON THE DAY THAT
HE WAS SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY.
SO, WE BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR
BILL MORNEAU TO RESIGN.
>> Reporter: IN HIS DEFENSE,
MORNEAU TESTIFIED HIS FAMILY
DONATED $100,000 TO WE, HALF IN
2018 AND HALF JUST LAST MONTH.
IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THAT SECOND
DONATION WAS MADE BEFORE THE
CURRENT CONTROVERSY STARTED TO
GATHER STEAM.
THE SUBSIDIZED FAMILY TRAVEL
ADDS TO A LIST OF PERSONAL
BENEFITS THAT TRUDEAU AND
MORNEAU FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE
RECEIVED FROM THE CHARITY
INCLUDE BEING SPEAKING FEES,
PAID AND UNPAID JOBS FOR THE
KIDS AND FLIGHTS AND HOTELS FOR
THE PRIME MINISTER'S WIFE.
ALL QUESTIONS THE P.M. WILL HAVE
TO FACE, ALONG WITH HIS
CHIEF-OF-STAFF, WHEN THEY BOTH
APPEAR BEFORE THE SAME
COMMITTEE.
EVAN DYER, CBC NEWS, GATINEAU,
QUEBEC.
>> Andrew: VASSY KAPELOS HAS
BEEN DIGGING INTO THIS AS HOST
OF "POWER & POLITICS."
HOW SIGNIFICANT OR DAMAGING WERE
TODAY'S REVELATIONS?
>> Reporter: IT WASN'T PRETTY
FOR THEM.
I AM THINKING OF WHAT THE
FINANCE MINISTER SAID DURING HIS
TESTIMONY.
HE DID THE ACCOUNTING YESTERDAY
AND CUT THE CHEQUE TODAY.
THAT LEAVES JUST THE MORNING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT.
FROM SOURCES I'VE BEEN SPEAKING
TO, HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES SPENT
THE DAY FIGURING OUT HOW THEY
WOULD HANDLE IT.
COULD YOU SEE IT ON HIS FACE, HE
SEEMED RESIGNED TO THE IDEA THAT
THE CRITICISM WOULD COME FAST
AND FURIOUS AND THAT IT DID.
>> Andrew: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
PRIME MINISTER AND HIS
CHIEF-OF-STAFF APPEARING BEFORE
THE COMMITTEE, HOW MIGHT THAT
SWING THE PENDULUM EITHER WAY?
>> Reporter: FIRST, THIS IS
EXTRAORDINARY.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE PRIME
MINISTER OR HIS CHIEF-OF-STAFF
TEMPERATURE BEFORE A COMMITTEE
FULL OF M.P.s PRIME TO
CRITICIZE AND CRITIQUE AND GRILL
THE PRIME MINISTER.
IT'S MUST-SEE TV.
I'VE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE AROUND THE
PRIME MINISTER TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE STRATEGY MIGHT BE
BEHIND IT AND WHAT THEY TELL ME
IS, THE IDEA IS TO LET THE
OXYGEN ALL-OUT AT ONCE.
A BIG EVENTS THAT PUTS IT BEHIND
THEM.
THEY REALLY SAY THEY HAVE
NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE AND THERE'S
NOTHING RATHER TO HIDE.
SO, THAT IS THEIR MOTIVATION.
ON THE FLIP SIDE, THERE'S A BIG
RISK TO ALL THAT.
WE SAW IT TODAY WITH THE FINANCE
MINISTER, I SHOULD SAY, AND IT
CAN BACKFIRE AND THEY'RE
GAMBLING IT WON'T AND WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO SEE IF THAT'S
THE CASE.
>> Andrew: LOTS MORE TO COME,
THANK YOU, VASSY.
>>> AND WE HAVE A LOT OF
REACTION TONIGHT TO OUR
EXCLUSIVE REPORT ON AN ALLEGE HELY
TOXIC ATMOSPHERE IN THE OFFICE
OF GOVERNOR-GENERAL, JULIE
PAYETTE.
MANY PEOPLE CAME FORWARD SAYING
THEY FELT BULLIED IN ONE OF THE
HIGHEST OFFICE THI OFFICES IN CANADA.
>> Reporter: INJURED ISN'T PART
OF THE PROBLEMS AT RIDEAU HALL
BUT THE N.D.P. SAYS HE MUST BE
PART OF THE SOLUTION.
>> WILL THE PRIME MINISTER SHOW
LEADERSHIP AND LAUNCH AN
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION?
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: OBVIOUSLY EVERY
CANADIAN HAS THE RIGHT TO A SAFE
AND SECURE WORKSPACE, FRO FROM
HARASSMENT AND IT'S IMPORTANT.
>> Reporter: EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT, BUT TRUDEAU ISN'T
SAYING WHAT ACTION, IF ANY, HE
WILL TAKE.
IT COMES AFTER CBC NEWS REPORTED
A DOZEN SOURCES ACCUSED OF
GOVERNOR-GENERAL, JULIE PAYETTE,
OF BERATING, BELITTLING AND
PUBLICLY HUMILIATING STAFF.
PAYETTE'S SECRETARY IS ACCUSED
OF BULLYING EMPLOYEES.
>> DEFINITELY RIDEAU HALL NEEDS
TO LOOK INTO THIS VERY
CAREFULLY.
>> Reporter: TODAY, A PUBLIC
SILENCE FROM RIDEAU HALL.
BUT A PRIVATE MEMO WAS SENT TO
ALL EMPLOYEES LAST NIGHT, JUST
HOURS AFTER CBC'S REPORT.
DELOW REN SO WROTE, I WANT YOU
TO KNOW I AND THE MANAGEMENT
TEAM HAVE DEEPLY COMMITTED TO
FOSTERING A HEALTHY WORK
ENVIRONMENT.
WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN AND TAKE
ACTION.
IN ORDER TO KEEP IMPROVING OUR
WORK ENVIRONMENT.
>> PLEASE RISE.
>> Reporter: SHE TOLD STAFF TO
REPORT ANY COMPLAINTS.
BUT SOURCES SAY THEIR ISSUES
WOULD BE DEALT WITH BY THE VERY
PEOPLE THEY'RE COMPLAINING
ABOUT.
IT'S VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
ALLEGATION AND WILL BE FOLLOWING
UP ON THESE REPORTS.
A FORMER CABINET MINISTER SAYS
THAT THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO
TAKE ACTION NOW.
>> THIS IS A MINORITY PARLIAMENT
MANY OF THIS IS A IMPORTANT
OFFICE THAT HAS TO HAVE THE
CONFIDENCE OF CANADIANS.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME MINISTER
COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS WITH PAYETTE, TO
TRY AND RESOLVE THIS.
PAYETTE IS THE QUEEN'S
REPRESENTATIVE TO CANADA AND
BUCKINGHAM PALACE IS AWARE OF
CBC'S REPORT BUT SAYS IT'S A
MATTER FOR THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S OFFICE TO
HANDLE.
ASHLEY BURKE, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Andrew: FOR MANY COMPANIES
AROUND THE WORLD, THE PAST FEW
MONTHS HAVE BEEN A ROCKENNING OF
SORTS AS THEY TRY TO ADDRESS
ANTIBLACK RACISM IN THEIR OFFICE
AND BOARDROOMS, THAT INCLUDES
THE CBC AS WELL.
TONIGHT A CBC INVESTIGATION
TAKES US THROUGH ANOTHER
ALLEGATION OF RACIST LANGUAGE
BEING USED AT THE CORPORATION.
KATIE NICKOLSON SPOKE TO A
FORMER EMPLOYEE ABOUT WHAT WAS
SAID AND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE
SPOKE OUT.
>> Reporter: DEXTER BROWN LOVES
CBC.
>> I JUST FELT LIKE HOME.
IT FELT LIKE I WAS GIVING BACK
TO CANADA.
>> Reporter: BUT BROWN DOESN'T
WORK HERE ANYMORE.
IN APRIL OF 2019, HE WAS AT AN
ALL-STAFF MEETING OF "THE FIFTH
ESTATE" WHERE THEY SCREENED THIS
DOCUMENTARY.
>> THERE WAS NO WARNING THEY
WERE ABOUT TO HEAR THE "N" WORD
12 TIMES.
THE THRUST OF THE DOCK, HOW
HARMFUL THE WORD IS.
>> WHY THAT?
>> THAT'S WHAT I HEARD GROWING
UP.
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
WE'RE CUTTING IT OFF RIGHT NOW.
>> YES, SIR.
>> Reporter: IN THE DISCUSSION
THAT FOLLOWED, THE HOST AND
EDITOR REPEATED THE WORD.
THERE WERE MORE THAN 30 PEOPLE
IN THE ROOM, INCLUDING NEW
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, CATHERINE
LEGGE AND MARIE CALOZ.
ACCORDING TO WITNESSES, NO ONE
SPOKE UP.
BROWN, A JUNIOR EMPLOYEE, WAS
THE LOA LONE BLACK PERSON.
>> THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
BETTER.
THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THAT
WORD HAS A LOT OF POWER.
>> Reporter: IN AN E-MAIL,
FINALLY DOESN'T REMEMBER USING
THE WORD BUT SAYS IF, HOWEVER,
MY MEMORY IS WRONG AND I DID
QUOTE SOMEONE FROM THE FILM
USING THE WORD, I APOLOGIZE.
IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
HICKS DECLINED PRESENT AND LEGGE
DID NOT RESPOND TO MULTIPLE
REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS.
MARIE CALOZ SAID SHE'S UNABLE TO
SPEAK BECAUSE OF
CONFIDENTIALITY.
>> THIS IS THE LAST PLACE YOU GO
AND THINK THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
HEAR SOMEONE SAY THAT WORD.
>> Reporter: NADIA STEWART, THE
HEAD OF THE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION
OF BLACK JOURNALISTS WAS ONE OF
THE FIRST PEOPLE BROWN CALLED.
>> WE KNOW THE CBC CAN DO
BETTER.
IN THIS INSTANCE THEY SHOULD
HAVE DONE BETTER ROR.
>> Reporter:  THEY SAY THERE WAS
NO RESOLUTION AND NO APOLOGIZE
FROM COLLEAGUES.
>> AN APOLOGY WOULD HAVE BEEN
GREAT.
IT WOULD HAVE MEANT A LOT TO ME.
>> Reporter: BROWN LAUNCHED A
COMPLAINT ASKING TO BE MOVED OFF
THE SHOW.
HE SAYS HE WAS OFFERED OTHER
TEMPORARY POSITIONS, INCLUDING
ONE UNDER THE SAME MANAGER.
HE WASN'T SATISFIED WITH THE
OPTIONS AND STAYED PUT.
CBC HIRED A AN EXTERNAL LAW FIRM
TO LOOK INTO WORK CULTURE AT
"THE FIFTH ESTATE," INCLUDING
THE USE OF THE" N" WORD AND WHEN
THE INVESTIGATION WAS OVER HE
WASN'T ALLOWED TO SEE THE
REPORT.
>> I WAS HOPING TO GET A BIT
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED AND THE STEPS THAT
WOULD BE TAKEN TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE.
TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING LIKE THAT
WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT, CBC
SAYS THE INVESTIGATION WAS
COMPREHENSIVE AND CONFIRMED
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE TAKEN
BUT COULDN'T SAY WHAT THEY WERE.
CITING CONFIDENTIALITY.
"THE WEEKLY" STARTS NOW.
>> Reporter: SINCE THE INCIDENT,
THE HOST WENDY MESLEY USED THE
WORD TWICE IN EDITORIAL
MEETINGS.
>> TO KNOW ANOTHER JOURNALIST OF
COLOUR HAD TO FACE SOMETHING
KIND OF SIMILAR TO WHAT I FACED,
THAT WAS REALLY TOUGH.
>> Reporter: IN RECENT WEEKS,
CBC HAS ANNOUNCED EY A NUMBER OF
CHANGES TO TACKLE SYSTEMIC
RACISM AND INCREASE DIVERSITY.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR BROWN WHO ARE
TOOK A JOB AT CTV BUT HE STILL
HOPES FOR POSITIVE CHANGE AT THE
PUBLIC BROADCASTER.
>> I HOPE THAT THERE ARE CHANGES
THERE FOR THE BETTER.
TO MAKE PEOPLE OF COLOUR FEEL
WELL AND AND ACCEPTED AND
APPRECIATED.
>> Reporter: KATIE NICKOLSON,
CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: TURNING NOW TO
COVID-19.
OVER RECENT DAYS, CANADA HAS
SEEN A HIGHS ACROSS HOTSPOTS AND
CLUSTERS.
TAKEN TOGETHER, THEY TELL A
CLEAR STORY.
BY JUNE, CANADA'S NEW CASES WERE
FAR BELOW THE PEAK AND HEADING
SOUTH UNTIL THEY HIT A FLOR TWO
WEEKS AGO, THAT'S WHEN THEY WENT
BACK UP AND THIS SADDLE SHAPE IS
UNMISTAKABLE.
WE ARE BACK WHERE WE WERE IN
EARLY JUNE AND HEADING IN THE
WRONG DIRECTION.
DRIVING THE NUMBERS REGIONAL,
QUEBEC, ONTARIO AND ALBERTA AND
SASKATCHEWAN WHICH HAD THE
HIGHEST DAILY INCREASE YET
TODAY.
THAT UPWARD INTERPRETED IS BEING
FELT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA SO, 
MUCH SO THAT OFFICIALS ARE
MOVING TO TIGHTEN RESTRICTIONS
FOR RESTAURANTS, BARS AND
NIGHTCLUBS.
IT COMES AS FRUSTRATION GROWS
OVER LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE
IGNORING PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
>> Reporter: A LARGE SUNSET
GATHERING, COMPLETE WITH DANCING
AND DRUMS BA BAFFLED SOME PASSING
BY.
IT INFURIATED PLENTY OF OTHERS.
>> DON'T GO AGAINST ALL THE HARD
WORK THAT THIS PROVINCE IS PUT
IN JUST TO HAVE A HIPPIE DRUM
CIRCLE.
>> Reporter: RYAN ESTIMATED THE
PARTY SWELLED TO OVER 100.
MUCH MORE THAN THE PROVINCE'S
BANFF GATHERINGS OVER 50 PEOPLE.
>> THE PEOPLE ARE LEFT TO POLICE
THEMSELVES AND FOR THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE BEACH, IT'S
FOLLOWING THE RULES, IT WAS FINE
BUT FOR THAT SMALL, YET LARGE
GROUP OF PEOPLE, THEY CHOSE NOT
TO.
>> Reporter: IN B.C., THERE'S
BEEN AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER
OF YOUNG ADULTS TESTING
POSITIVE.
>> IF YOU ARE IN A CROWDED
LOCATION, BEING OUTSIDE IS NOT
ENOUGH.
WE KNOW THAT IT CAN BE
TRANSMITTED WHEN YOU ARE HAVING
CLOSE CONVERSATIONS.
>> Reporter: TODAY THE PROVINCE
ALSO TIGHT END RULES FOR SOME
BUSINESS.
ANYONE GOING TO A RESTAURANT OR
BAR MUST HAVE A SEAT, NO ONE CAN
GET A DRINK FOR THEMSELVES AND
ESTABLISHMENT HAVE TO ENSURE
THAT PEOPLE AREN'T CROWDED
AROUND.
THE GROUP REPRESENTING THE
PROVINCE'S RESTAURANTS WANTS TO
SEE ONE MORE CHANGE, ALL FOOD
SERVICE WORKERS WEARING MASKS.
>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD VISUAL
CUE AND IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE
DOING SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE'S
A LOT OF CONSUMER CONFERENCE
STUFF GOING IN THIS.
>> Reporter: AT THIS RESTAURANT,
ALL THE STAFF WEAR MASKS, IT'S
ALREADY IMPLEMENTED THE
PROVINCE'S NEW RULES AND IT CAN
STILL BE A CHALLENGE TO KEEP
GROUPS SMALL.
>> PEOPLE ARE USED TO BEING AT
BEER MARKETS AND WE HAVE TO
MICRO MANAGE THE HECK OUT OF
THOSE SITUATIONS.
>> Reporter: BECAUSE INSIDE,
RESTAURANTS CAN'T SEAT ANY
PARTIES LARGER THAN SIX.
AND OUTSIDE, WHERE THERE'S
LITTLE ENFORCEMENT, IT STILL
COMES DOWN TO GOOD JUDGE MANY.

REGINA.
THE NUMBER OF ACTIVE CASES HAS

TODAY WERE ALSO IN HUTTERITE
COMMUNITIES.
THERE ARE NOW 35 INFECTIONS
LINKED TO COLONIES IN THE
PROVINCE, WITH THE MOST RELATED

HIT A GRIM NEW MILESTONE TODAY.
THE NUMBER OF CONFIRMED
INFECTIONS EXCEEDS 15 MILLION
WORLDWIDE.
AND THE DEATH TOLL CONTINUES TO
RISE.
MORE THAN 619,000 PEOPLE HAVE
DIED FROM THE VIRUS.
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
THOSE IN BRAZIL, AND THE UNITED
STATES.
WHICH WE KNOW SAY BIG DRIVER OF
THOSE GLOBAL NUMBERS.
NEARLY 4 MILLION CASES THERE AND
142,000 DEATHS.
THE AMERICAN DAILY DEATH TOLL
HAD BEEN FALLING BUT NOW FOR THE
FIRST TIME SINCE EARLY JUNE,
MORE THAN 1,000 PEOPLE DIED FROM
COVID-19 IN A SINGLE DAY.
FOR A SECOND DAY IN A ROW,

THEY ARE CASING VIOLENT CRIME
AND BREAKUP OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENTS.
>> Reporter: THEY'LL GO TO
ALBUQUERQUE AND CHICAGO WHICH IS
STRUGGLING TO CONTAIN A SPIKE IN
GUN VIOLENCE.
DESPITE LOCAL LEADERS, FURIOUSLY
DENOUNCING THE MOVE.
>> NAME LESS AGENTS PULLING
PEOPLE OFF THE STREET AND
DEPRIVING THEM OF THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, THAT'S
NOT WHAT A DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.
>> Reporter: THESE SCENES ARE
ALSO CAUSING DISCOMFORT AMONGST
SOME REPUBLICANNANCE, LIKE TOM
RICH, THE FIRST SECRETARY
HOMELAND SECURITY UNDER GEORGE
W. BUSH, AND A FORMER GOVERNOR
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
>> THE DEPARTMENT WAS
ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT AMERICA
FROM GLOBAL TERRORISM.
IT WAS NOT ESTABLISHED TO BE THE
PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL MILITIA.
>> Reporter: BUT THE SINKING
POLL NUMBERS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
IS TRYING TO FIX BY LEANING INTO
A TOUGH-ON-CRIME MESSAGE DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE THE RIGHT STRATEGY.
WHEN IT'S THE RAPID SPREAD OF
THE VIRUS, NOT LAW AND ORDER,
THAT'S TOP OF MIND FOR VOTERS.

INCLUDE STOMACH ACHES,
BREATHLESSNESS, BRAIN FOG AND
FATIGUE.

POSSIBLE THAT AFTER THE

OTHER IMMUNE CELLS THAT KILL THE
VIRUS CAN START ATTACKING THE
PATIENTS' OWN SYSTEM.
AUTO IMMUNE RESPONSES CAN BE
TRIGGERED BY OTHER VIRUSES
INCLUDING EPSTEIN BAR AND

BACK TO NORMAL.
THERE WILL BE BIG CHANGES,
INCLUDING MANDATORY MASKS ON

HALLWAYS, AND AN END TO BIG
GATHERINGS, LIKE ASSEMBLIES.
ALL MEASURES TO REDUCE RISK.
OF COURSE, THE RISK ISN'T ZERO.
NOVA SCOTIA HAS JUST ONE KNOWN

>> Reporter: UNDERSTANDABLE,
SAYS THIS EDUCATION PROFESSOR.
BUT IT'S ALSO CRUCIAL TO ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS OF STUDENTS,
TEACHERS AND PARENTS.
>> I DO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE
NAIVE TO ASSUME THAT WE'RE ALL
GOING TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
>> Reporter: BACK AT THE
SCHOOL --
>> WE ALMOST DO AS MUCH AS WE
CAN.
WE DO WEAR MASKS INDOOR PUBLIC
SPACES.
>> Reporter: THE HOPE SUBPOENA
OTHER FAMILIES WILL BE JUST AS
CAUTIOUS AS ALBERTA'S
NEAR-NORMAL SCHOOL PLAN IS THEIR
NEW NORMAL.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS,
EDMONTON.
>> Andrew: WHEN WE COME BACK,
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT
MAKING SURE SCHOOLS ARE SAFE.
OUR DOCTORS ARE STANDING BY TO
TAKE US THROUGH WHAT YOU SHOULD
EXPECT FROM YOUR CHILD'S
>> Andrew: WELCOME BACK.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT BACK
TO SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER.
AND WE'VE HEARD ABOUT NOVA
SCOTIA'S AND ALBERTA'S PLANS TO
RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL.
ONTARIO IS CONSIDERING A MORE
HYBRID APPROACH WHERE DIFFERENT
STUDENTS RETURN AT DIFFERENT
TIMES.
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE SAME
QUESTIONS.
HOW SAFE IS IT FOR KIDS TO GO
BACK AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO
MAKE IT SAFER?
JOINING ME NOW DR. VAISMAN AND
DR. SAMIR GUPTA.
AND DOCTORS, LET ME START BY
QUOTING ALBERTA PREMIER, JASON
KENNEY.
HE SAYS THE EVIDENCE IS
OVERWHELMING THAT SCHOOLS CAN BE
OPERATED SAFELY WITH LITTLE
HEALTH RISK FOR CHILDREN AND
TEACHERS AND LOW RISK FOR THE
COMMUNITIES AROUND THEM.
DR. GUPTA, HOW SUSCEPTIBLE ARE
KIDS TO CATCHING COVID-19.
>> THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION.
THERE WAS A REVIEW DONE BY A
GROUP IN THE U.K. AND THEY
REVIEWED CONTACT TRACING STUDIES
AND SORT OF SCREENING STUDIES.
AND CHILDREN HAVE HALF THE ODDS
OF CONTRACTING THE VIRUS FROM A
FALSE CONTACT COMPARED TO
ADULTS.
THEY'RE LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO
CATCHING THE VIRUS.
THE FLIP SIDE IS WHEN YOU LOOK
AT SYMPTOMS, WE TALKED ABOUT
YOUNGER PEOPLE HAVING LESS
SEVERE DISEASE, AND IF KIDS
CATCH IT THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO
BE SYMPTOM AT I CAN.
THE PROBLEM IS WE ALSO HAVE DATA
TO SUGGEST THAT IF THEY DO CATCH
IT, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE
ASYMPTOMATIC, THEY HAVE A
SIMILAR VIRAL LOAD TO ADULTS,
THEY CARRY AROUND A SIMILAR A
LOT OF VIRUS AS ADULTS DO, WHICH
IMPLIES THEY'RE JUST AS
INFECTIOUS AS ADULTS.
>> Andrew: AND I GUESS THAT'S
THE TRICKY PART, RIGHT, WHEN YOU
COMBINE THOSE TWO THINGS, THE
QUESTION THEY'RE INFECTIOUS
COMPARED TO THE HEIGHTENED VIRAL
LOAD.
DR. VAISMAN, WHAT MORE DO WE
KNOW ABOUT THE POTENTIAL RISK
THERE FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE TO KIND
OF BE VECTORS FOR THE DISEASE?
MAYBE THE GREATER THREAT IS
GETTING OTHER PEOPLE SICK?
>> YES, EXACTLY.
IN THE GROUP OF STUDIES LOOKING
AT OTHER GROUPS OF YOUNG PEOPLE,
INCLUDING AGES 10-19 MIGHT HAVE
A GOOD CAPACITY OF TRANSMITTING
THE VIRUS AS ADULTS DO.
THE CONCERN IS BEING IF YOU
RETURN TO SCHOOL, ESPECIALLY
HIGH SCHOOLS, THE YOUNG PEOPLE
AS WAS MENTIONED WON'T HAVE POOR
OUTCOMES AND WON'T DO AS POORLY
WITH THE VIRUS BUT THEY HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO ACQUIRE THE VIRUS
AND TRANSMIT IT TO PEOPLE WHO
THEY'RE LIVING WITH AT HOME
INCLUDING ADULTS AND THEIR
GRANDPARENTS AND THOSE MORE
VULNERABLE.
>> Andrew: IS IT SAFE FOR KIDS
TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL IN
SEPTEMBER?
>> WE LEARNED FROM A LOT OF
EXAMPLES  ACROSS THE WORLD WHERE
IT MIGHT BE SAFE FOR PEOPLE TO
GO BACK TO SCHOOL WITH CERTAIN
MEASURES IN PLACE TO REDUCE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF TRANSMISSION.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF EXPERIENCE
AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE DONE
THIS SAFELY AND A LOT OF LESSONS
LEARNED WHEN TO PULL BACK AND
OPEN UP AND IN CANADA, SAME
THING CAN BE DONE SAFELY.
>> Andrew: WHAT ARE SOME OF
THOSE MEASURES THAT YOU WOULD
EXPECT EVERY SCHOOL TO TAKE.
IT'S EASY TO THINK OF THE
OBVIOUS ONES.
>> THE HAND HYGIENE AND SOCIAL
DISTANCING IS IMPORTANT.
CREANING FOR TEACHERS AND THE
STUDENTS.
EDUCATING THE STUDENTS AND
PARENTS ABOUT SYMPTOMS.
MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S MATS
AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE
ABLE TO WEAR THEM SO THEY REDUCE
TRANSMISSION AS WELL.
ALSO HAVING A BACK UP PLAN TO BE
ABLE TO TRANSITION SMOOTHLY
BETWEEN IN CLASS TEACHING AND TO
TEACHING CLASSES OUTSIDE OF
CLASSES, ALSO IMPORTANT WAY STEP
ALSO TO TRY TO DO THIS SAFELY
AND EFFECTIVELY.
>> Andrew: DR. GUPTA,
DR. VAISMAN MENTIONED MAKING
MASKS AVAILABLE, WHAT ABOUT
MAKING MASKS MANDATORY?
>> YEAH, I THINK THE TRICKIEST
ENVIRONMENT IS THAT CLASSROOM,
WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE
TOGETHER, PROBABLY NOT ABLE TO
PHYSICALLY DISTANCE THE
APPROPRIATE DISTANCE AND THE
LEAD FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN
A POORLY VENTILATED SPACE.
THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD WANT
MASKS.
AFTER A LONG DAY, I HAVE TROUBLE
KEEPING A MASK ON WITHOUT
TOUCHING IT AND SORT OF
CONTAMINATING MYSELF AND THAT'S
PART OF MY JOB.
I THINK THAT, ALTHOUGH WE WOULD
WANT IT, FOR MOST CHILDREN, IT
WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE.
I THINK IT'S A VERY CHALLENGING
THING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO
MANDATE BECAUSE OF THAT.
>> Andrew: DOES THAT RISK OF, I
MEAN, JUST BEING SLOPPY WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE MASK, DOES IT
OUTWEIGH THE BENEFIT OF WEARING
THE MASK AND SORT OF BLOCKING
TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS THAT
WAY?
>> IT'S HARD TO KNOW.
YOU KNOW, WE DO WORRY -- IF YOU
ARE WEARING A MASK ALL DAY,
PARTLY IT'S TO PROTECT OTHERS
FROM YOUR OWN DROPLETS AND
PARTLY THERE'S SOME PROTECTION
FOR YOURSELF.
IF THERE IS AN INFECTED PARTY IN
THAT ENVIRONMENT, THERE MAY BE
VIRUS ON THE SURFACE OF THE MASK
IF YOU'VE BEEN BREATHING THROUGH
IT ALL DAY.
TOUCHING IT FREQUENTLY AND
PARTICULARLY TAKING IT ON AND
OFF WILL TAKEAWAY FROM THE
BENEFIT AND TOUCHING IT
FREQUENTLY IF IT'S INFECTED, CAN
ACTUALLY BE UNBENEFICIAL.
>> Andrew: THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.
>>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," WHEN
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL MEANS
EVERYTHING.
>> I DROPPED EMILY OFF AND I
SAID TO MY HUSBAND, I JUST FEEL
LIKE I CAN BREATHE.
>> Andrew: HOW THE REOPENING OF
PROGRAMMES FOR PEOPLE LIVING
WITH DISABILITIES C
>> Andrew: WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT A SAFE RETURN TO SCHOOL
WITH PARENTS AND CHILDREN
LONGING FOR A RETURN TO NORMAL.
THE TOLL OF ISOLATION CAN BE
EVEN GREATER FOR THOSE WITH
DISABILITIES.
THAT'S WHY TWO SPECIALIZED
PROGRAMMES ARE GIVING FAMILIES
THEIR FIRST REAL BREAK SINCE THE
START OF THE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter: RHETT SYNDROME IS A
GENETIC NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE
THAT -- SHE WAS DIAGNOSED JUST
BEFORE SHE WAS TWO.
IT MEANS HER BODY DOESN'T DO
WHAT SHE WANTS IT TO DO OR WHAT
IT SHOULD DO.
BASICALLY HER BODY DOESN'T WORK.
>> HAVE FUN AT CAMP.
WE'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.
BE GOOD.
>> Reporter: LIFE ISN'T EASY FOR
6-YEAR-OLD EMILY HIGGINS.
THERE ARE BRIGHT SPOTS AND
THEY'RE HEADING TO ONE.
>> LET'S GO.
>> Reporter: THE CAMP EMILY IS
GOING TO IS NEARLY AN HOUR AWAY.
>> OH MY GOSH, EMILY.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SUCH A
GOOD DAY.
>> IT'S A LIFELINE.
NOW MORE THAN EVER.
 [LAUGHTER]  
YOU DO LOVE CAMP.
>> I FIRST DAY I DROPPED EMILY
OFF, I SAID TO MY HUSBAND I CAN
BREATHE BECAUSE IT WAS JUST --
IT WAS REALLY HARD.
SO IT'S BETTER NOW.
SHE'S HAPPY.
>> Reporter: IT WASN'T AN EASY
DECISION.
EMILY'S CONDITION MEANS SHE HAS
TROUBLE FIGHTING INFECTIONS.
BUT IT WAS A TRADE OFF BETWEEN
MANAGING THE RISK AND EMOTIONAL
TOLL STAYING HOME HAD ALREADY
TAKEN.
>> SHE WAS MISSING HER FRIENDS
AND THROUGH THIS, SHE WAS ALSO
DIAGNOSED WITH DISTONIA, WHICH
IS REALLY PAINFUL MUSCLE SPASMS.
WE'VE SEEN IT THROUGH THE YEAR
BUT ALL THE THINGS HAPPENING
COMPOUNDED IT.
EMILY WOULD JUST CRY ALL DAY.
WE WOULD CRY.
IT WAS JUST SURVIVAL MODE.
>> ARE YOU READY FOR AN AWESOME
DAY MY GIRLS!
>> Reporter: THAT DESPERATE NEED
FOR A REPRIEVE IS WHY KAYLA'S
CHILDREN'S CENTRE WAS DETERMINED
TO OPEN.
WITH PRECAUTIONS LIKE
TEMPERATURE CHECKS AND BUBBLING
GROUPS OF CHILDREN AND STAFF
MEMBERS.
IT'S THE ONLY CAMP IN THE
TORONTO AREA FOR DISABLED AND
MEDIMEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILDREN.
>> WE HAD A LOT OF PARENTS DRIFT
UP AND DROP THEIR KID OFF AND
LITERALLY SIT IN THEIR CAR AND
SOB.
EVERYTHING THEY'VE GONE THROUGH,
OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS, JUST
HIT THEM.
>> Reporter: SHE RUNS THE CAMP.
>> THIS YEAR LIKE THESE PARENTS
WERE SO -- THEY'RE AT THEIR
BREAKING POINT.
AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY DON'T HAVE AN OPTION OF
SAYING, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST GOING
TO TAKE MENTAL HEALTH TODAY AND
I'M NOT GOING TO DO ALL THE
BATHEING AND THE FEEDING AND THE
STUFF THAT THEIR KIDS NEED.
I FEEL LIKE BY THE END OF JUNE,
THEY WERE AT THE END OF THEIR
ROPE.
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY, I'LL SEE YOU
LATER.
>> WE HAVE TO WATCH HER ALL THE
TIME.
AND YO YOU ARE CONSTANTLY AT THE
EDGE.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE THE BREAK OR
TAKING HER TO HER PROGRAMME, BUT
YOU KNOW, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
WITH THESE SPECIAL NEEDS, YOU
DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
YOU JUST DO IT.
>> HAVE A GOOD TIME AT HOME!
>> LOVE YOU!
HAVE A GREAT TIME!
>> Reporter: RENA AND GARY'S
DAUGHTER IS 42-YEARS-OLD.
TANYA HAS CEREBRAL PALSY AND
DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED.
SHE HAS BEEN HOME FOR THE LAST
FOUR MONTHS.
>> BY MOM!
>> Reporter: AND JUST STARTED
COMING BACK HERE.
>> THERE WE GO.
>> OK!
LET'S DO THIS!
>> Reporter: DANNY IS A DAY
PROGRAMME FOR ADULTS WITH
DISABILITIES.
[*]  
>> Reporter: IT LOOKS DIFFERENT
NOW, BUT THEY'RE TOGETHER AGAIN.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?
>> REAL GREAT.
I FEEL AGAIN.
SEE MY FRIENDS AGAIN.
>> Reporter: IT'S WHY
CO-FOUNDER, KATHY LAZLO MADE THE
CALL TO REOPEN.
>> SOME PARTICIPANTS AND YOU
WOULD THINK THAT WHAT DOES IT
MATTER, RIGHT.
SO HE SITS HERE OR HE SITS AT
HOME.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
IT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU CAN SEE THE HAPPINESS ON HIS
FACE JUST TO BE HERE WITH HIS
FRIENDS.
THEY REALLY NEED THIS.
THEY REALLY DO.
>> Reporter: COMING BACK MEANT
SCALING BACK.
GROUPS OF FIVE ARE COHORTED IN
HALF DAYS AND STAFF GET TESTED
FOR COVID EVERY TWO WEEKS.
EVERYTHING IS CLEANED SEVERAL
TIMES A DAY.
IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY
TO PUT IN ALL THE SAFETY
MEASURES BUT KATHY SAYS, IT'S
WORTH IT.
>> SEEING THE JOY ON THAT FACE
IS WORTH EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO
DO.
THEY ARE ALREADY HAPPY.
IF IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO
DEMONSTRATE.
WHEN THEY CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT
HAPPINESS, IT GIVES US JOY TOO.
>> HOLY SMOKES, LOOK AT THEM
ALL.
>> Reporter: FOR RENA AND GARY,
IT'S A CHANCE TO DROP THEIR
GUARD FOR A FEW HOURS AND ENJOY
THEIR GARDEN AND EACH OTHER.
>> SHE'S DOING GOOD.
VERY WELL.
>> OFTEN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TENSE.
EVEN YOUR BODY IS TENSE.
YOU JUST HE SORT OF RELAX
BECAUSE WE KNOW SHE'S IN GOOD
HANDS WHERE SHE IS.
>> Reporter: HOWEVER LOVELY THE
BREAK, IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO
ONE THING --
>> THAT SHE'S OK.
>> IT'S WHAT EVERY PARENT WANTS,
RIGHT.
>> YEP.
YEP.
WHEN SHE'S HAPPY, WE'RE
SATISFIED.
>> WHAT ARE WE DOING!
>> Reporter: HAPPINESS CAN BE
FLEETING.
THE GOAL HERE, TO KEEP
RECAPTURING IT.
EMILY UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING AND
USES A DEVICE TO COMMUNICATE.
SHE TELLS US SHE'S HAD ENOUGH OF
THE SUN -- AND OF US.
>> GOOD-BYE.
[*]  
TEARS DRY QUICKLY HERE.
THERE ARE SO MANY DISTRACTIONS.
 [LAUGHTER]  
>> Reporter: AND EMILY'S MOM IS
GRATEFUL FOR EVERY ONE.
>> WE'VE SEEN EMILY BACK TO
HERSELF.
HAPPY, FEELING GOOD, UM, SHE HAS
MORE PATIENCE, THERE'S A HUGE
DIFFERENCE IN ALL OF US.
I'M NOT CRYING EVERYDAY.
I SAY WHEN EMILY IS HAPPY, I'M
HAPPY.
WE'RE ALL IN A REALLY -- IN A
MUCH BETTER PLACE.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> Reporter: AND IT'S ALL THEY
ALL NEED, TO SIMPLY CATCH THEIR
BREATHE.
>> HAVE A GOOD DAY.
I LOVE YOU.
>> Andrew: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," A STORY THAT PLAYS
OUT EXACTLY AS YOU EXPECT IT TO.
A BUNCH OF YOUNG PEOPLE START
ADD LEMONADE STAND AND RAISE
$35,000.
>> HI, MY NAME IS VITY AND WE
ARE THE LEMONADE LOVERS.
>> Andrew: THE ONTARIO KIDS,
BEHIND A FOUR-YEAR LONG
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN AND THEY'RE
NOT DONE YET.
RIGH
>> Andrew: THIS GROUP OF KIDS
CALL THEMSELVES THE LEMONADE
LOVERS.
THEIR GOAL IS STRAIGHT FORWARD,
SELL SOME LEMONADE AND RAISE
MONEY.
THEIR FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN HAS
BEEN GOING STRONG FOR FOUR YEARS
AND THIS YEAR, EVEN COVID-19
COULD NOT STOP THEM.
IT'S OUR "MOMENT."
HI, WE'RE THE LEMONADE LOVERS.
>> WE HAVE BEEN FUNDRAISING AND
THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
>> ALL THE MONEY GOES TO SICK
KIDS' HOSPITAL.
>> LEMONADE LOVERS IS OUR
ORGANIZATION AND WE FUNDRAISE
AND DONATE MONEY TO SICK KIDS.
WE THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE
DOING SOMETHING AND WHY DON'T WE
USE IT FOR A GOOD REASON.
AND SO WE THOUGHT WHY NOT
FUNDRAISE AND EVERYTHING WE GET
WE CAN DONATE IT TO SICK KIDS.
WE COLLECTED $600 OUR FIRST
STAND AND ALL TOGETHER WE'VE
COLLECTED $35,000 AND DONATED IT
ALL.
WE SAW THE WALL ON THE SIDE THEY
HAVE AND IF YOU RAISE $50,000,
YOUR NAME GOES ON THE WALL SO
THAT WAS EVEN MORE MOTIVATION
FOR US.
WE NEED TO GET THAT MONEY AND WE
NEED TO GET OUR NAME ON THAT
WALL.
DUE TO COVID-19, YOU CAN'T HAVE
A ACTUAL LEMONADE STAND BUT
WE'RE MOVING ONTO THE VIRTUAL
ASPECT OF IT.
WE HAVE SOME DANCE VIDEOS, WE
HAVE SOME GREEN SCREEN VOICE
OVER VIDEOS.
[*]  
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE YOU'RE OUR
MESSAGE GETS OUT AND MORE PEOPLE
DONATE.
>> Andrew: HEY, THEY'RE DOING
GOOD WORK.
THEY'RE HOPING TO RAISE
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THIS YEAR,
IF THEY CAN.
AND AT THIS POINT, YOU MAY BE
WONDERING, WAIT A SECOND, HOW ON
EARTH DID THEY RAISE $35,000
WITH JUST A LEMONADE STAND.
THEY HAVE MANAGED TO PARLAY THIS
DEM OLEMONADE STAND INTO AN EVENT.
THEY HAVE DONORS AND SPONSORS
AND, YEAH, PRETTY AMBITIOUS.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22ND, GOOD
NIGHT.
