>> Ian: GOOD EVENING.
I'M IAN HANOMANSING.
TONIGHT, THE GOVERNMENT BANS 
HUNDREDS OF FIERMENTS.
 -- FIREARMS.
>> Prime Minister Justin 
Trudeau: CANADIANS DESERVE MORE 
THAN THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
>> Ian: WE'LL LOOK AT THE 
JUSTIFICATION AND THE TIMING.
>> THEY'RE USING THIS PANDEMIC 
AS A WAY TO BRING IN A MAJOR 
POLICY DECISION.
>> Ian: WHAT THE POLICY MEANS 
FOR GUN OWNERS.
>> IT NEVER, NEVER HAPPENED.
>> Ian: JOE BIDEN DENIES A 
SEXUAL ASSAULT ACCUSATION.
>> THE PERSON APPLIED AND 
SHOULDN'T HAVE.
>> Ian: THE POTENTIAL RISK OF 
TAKING EMERGENCY FUNDS NOT MEANT
FOR YOU.
AND HONOURING THE CANADIANS ON A
CRASHED MILITARY HELICOPTER.
>> WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM.
>> Ian: OFF THE COAST OF GREECE 
IT'S NOW A RECOVERY MISSION.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL".
>>> 13 DAYS AFTER THE NOVA 
SCOTIA MASS SHOOTING BEGAN, THE 
GOVERNMENT SAYS THE MARKET FOR 
WHAT IT DESCRIBES AS 
MILITARY-GRADE ASSAULT-STYLE 
GUNS HAS CLOSED.
>> Prime Minister Justin 
Trudeau: THESE WEAPONS WERE 
DESIGNED FOR ONE PURPOSE AND ONE
PURPOSE ONLY, TO KILL THE 
LARGEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE 
SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME.
THERE IS NO USE AND NO PLACE FOR
SUCH WEAPONS IN CANADA.
>> Ian: IN ANNOUNCING THE 
IMMEDIATE BAN OF 1500 TYPES OF 
FIREARMS, THE PRIME MINISTER 
CITED CANADA'S WORST MASS 
SHOOTINGS, ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE, 
MAYERTHORPE.
>> WE REMEMBER HOW OUR SENSE OF 
SAFETY WAS SHAKEN.
>> Reporter: EVOKING PAINFUL 
MEMORIES, THE PRIME MINISTER 
SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
NOT YET TWO WEEKS AFTER THE 
WORST SHOOTING KILLED 22 PEOPLE.
>> THEIR FAMILIES DESERVE MORE 
THAN THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
CANADIANS DESERVE MORE THAN 
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
>> Reporter: THE TIMING 
OPPORTUNE THE LIBERALS HOPE FOR 
BAN LONG TALKED ABOUT.
>> THESE GUNS MAKE IT EASIER TO 
COMMIT MASS MURDER.
>> Reporter: 1500 TYPES AND 
THEIR VARIANTS OF ASSAULT-STYLE 
GUNS.
AS OF TODAY, RESTRICTED AND NO 
LONGER SOLD.
IF YOU OWN ONE TODAY, YOU CAN 
KEEP IT BUT CAN'T USE IT.
GUNS LIKE IT THOSE THAT TOOK THE
LIVE IN THE ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE 
MASSACRE AND LIKE THE TWO USED 
IN THE MASS SHOOTING JUST DAYS 
AGO.
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CALLS A 
SWEEPING GUN CONTROL MEASURE 
COMPLETELY MISSES THE POINT SAYS
THE OPPOSITION.
>> GOING AFTER PEOPLE WHO 
TRAFFIC IN FIREARMS, SMUGGLE IN 
FIREARMS, ILLEGALLY MODIFY 
FIREARMS, THAT IS WHAT WILL SAVE
LIVES.
WHAT THE LIBERALS ARE DOING IS 
SYMBOLISM OVER SUBSTANCE.
>> Reporter: WHAT WASN'T SAID 
HERE BUT QUIETLY LATER, THERE 
WILL BE AN OPTION FOR GUN OWNERS
TO HAVE THEIR WEAPONS 
GRANDFATHERED.
APPLYING TO KEEP THEM INSTEAD OF
SELLING THEM BACK TO THE 
GOVERNMENT.
A BITTER PILL FOR SURVIVORS OF 
GUN VIOLENCE.
>> IF YOU'RE OFFERING 
GRANDFATHER CLAUSES THAT MEANS 
THAT MANY IF NOT MOST GUN OWNERS
WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR 
WEAPONS.
>> Reporter: SO THE LIBERALS ARE
WALKING A FINE LINE IN A 
POLARIZED DEBATE, KEEPING, BUT 
SOFTENING A LONGSTANDING 
PROPOSITION.
AND DETAILS ON THE BUYBACK 
PROGRAMME ARE YET TO BE WORKED 
OUT.
>> Ian: THE SEARCH FOR THE 
CANADIAN MILITARY HELICOPTER 
THAT CRASHED IN THE 
MEDITERRANEAN HAS GONE FROM A 
RESCUE MISSION TO ONE OF 
RECOVERY.
THE FIVE WHO ARE MISSING NOW 
PRESUMED DEAD.
KAYLA HOUNSELL LOOKS AT WHAT 
WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THEM AND 
THE INVESTIGATION.
>> Reporter: AT 12 WING 
SHEARWATER WHERE THE MEMBERS OF 
THE AIR CREW WERE BASED, THERE 
IS A GROWING MEMORIAL TODAY TO 
MATCH THE GROWING GRIEF.
ON BOARD H.M.C.S. FREDERICTON IN
THE MEDITERRANEAN, A VIGIL FOR 
THOSE LOST AT SEA.
>> THIS DECISION WAS NOT TAKEN 
LIGHTLY.
>> Reporter: THE COMMANDER OF 
THE MARITIME FORCES ATLANTIC 
SAYS DESPITE THE EFFORTS OF 
CANADIAN AND ALLIED FORCES, TIME
HAS RUN OUT.
>> WE'RE CERTAIN IF THERE WERE 
SURVIVORS, WE WOULD HAVE FOUND 
THEM WITHIN THE PAST 48 HOURS.
>> Reporter: THE BODY OF 
SUB-LIEUTENANT ABBIGAIL 
COWBROUGH WAS RECOVERED WHEN THE
CYCLONE HELICOPTER CRASHED 
WEDNESDAY.
MILITARY OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAVE
NOW FOUND OTHER REMAINS, BUT 
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY 
THEM.
THAT LIKELY WON'T HAPPEN UNTIL 
THEY'RE REPATRIATED TO CANADA 
NEXT WEEK.
>> THIS PROUD MILITARY MEMBERS 
DIED HEROES AND WE'LL ALWAYS 
REMEMBER THEM.
BRENDAN McDONALD WAS A PROUD 
FATHER IN A HOUSE FULL OF BOYS.
CAPTAIN MAXIME MIRON-MIRON AS 
EXPIRED TO SERVE IN THE CANADIAN
ARMED FORCES SINCE HE WAS A 
CADET AND MATTHEW COUSINS WAS AN
OUTSTANDING AVIATOR WHO KEPT THE
OFFICERS OF THE CREW IN LINE.
>> Reporter: SUB-LIEUTENANT 
MATTHEW PYKE IS ALSO PRESUMED 
DEAD.
AND CAPTAIN KEVIN HAGEN, WHOSE 
FATHER SAYS HE WAS CARING AND 
SENSITIVE, TELLING THE WORLD HOW
PROUD I AM OF KEVIN DOESN'T EVEN
BEGIN TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE FOR
THOSE FEELINGS OF ADMIRATION I 
HAVE ALWAYS FELT FOR HIM.
H.M.C.S. FREDERICTON IS NOW 
HEADED FOR ITALY.
THE SHIP WILL BE MET BY A TEAM 
OF CANADIANS, CHAPLAINS, SOCIAL 
WORKERS AND INVESTIGATORS.
THE COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER AND 
DATA RECORDER HAVE BEEN FOUND 
ALONG WITH A HELICOPTER DOOR AND
PIECES OF THE FUSELAGE.
CLUES TO HELP INVESTIGATORS 
DETERMINE WHAT WENT TO 
CATASTROPHICALLY WRONG.
>> Ian: EMERGENCY EVACUATION 
ORDERS WERE LIFTED IN SOME PARTS
OF FORT McMURRAY, ALBERTA TODAY,
BUT NOT FOR ALL 13 H,000 PEOPLE 
OUT OF THEIR HOMES.
ONLY SOME HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO 
REOPEN.
WHILE PEOPLE IN SOME AREAS ARE 
RELIEVED TO GO HOME, NOW COMES 
THE DIFFICULT TASK OF DEALING 
WITH THE DAMAGE LEFT BEHIND.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN HAS THAT 
STORY.
>> YOU LOOK IN FRONT, THERE IS A
SHORTER GREEN BUILDING WITH THE 
RED AN BLACK LETTERING, THAT'S 
OUR SIGN.
>> Reporter: FOR ALMOST A WEEK, 
THIS IS AS CLOSE AS MIKE 
DUROCHER GOT TO HIS RESTAURANT.
WITH A PUBLIC HEALTH PANDEMIC, 
THE BUSINESS ALREADY WASN'T 
DOING WELL.
>> JUST SORT OF SURVIVING DOING 
PICK UP AND DELIVERIES.
>> Reporter: THEN THE FLOOD HIT.
DISPLACING HIM FROM HIS BUSINESS
AND THOUSANDS FROM THEIR HOMES.
>> WE HAVE SPOILING FOOD AND OUR
COOLERS AND FREEZERS HAS TO BE 
TAKEN OUT AND REPLACED.
>> Reporter: UNTIL THIS 
AFTERNOON, HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT 
ELSE TO EXPECT.
THEN OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED THIS.
>> BUT TO BE CLEAR, CONDITIONS 
ARE IMPROVING AND WE'RE 
BEGINNING TO TURN THE CORNER 
FROM RESPONSE TO RECOVERY.
>> Reporter: THEY LET A LIMITED 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE BACK INTO THE 
DOWNTOWN CORE.
DUROCHER HAS GOT ROTTEN FOOD TO 
GET RID OF, BUT HE'S COUNTING 
HIS BLESSINGS AS THE BUILDING IS
DRY.
NOT EVERYONE HAS BEEN LUCKY.
SOME RESIDENTS TAKING STOCK OF 
WHAT THEY STILL HAVE AND WHAT 
THEY CAN'T GET BACK.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT, I LOSE 
EVERYTHING.
AND THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DO.
>> Reporter: THIS WOMAN'S 
BASEMENT WAS COMPLETELY 
SUBMERGED.
EVERYTHING RUINED.
SHE SAYS SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO
GRAB ANYTHING, JUST HER FAMILY.
>> ONLY MY SON AND MY COUSIN AND
THEN PEOPLE BECAUSE POLICE TELL 
US WATER IS COMING FAST.
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE IS 
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO TALK TO 
THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES AND 
ALSO TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A 
GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY FUND.
>> THERE IS ASSISTANCE COMING.
DISASTER RECOVERY PROGRAMMES ARE
INTENDED FOR EXACTLY THIS TYPE 
OF SITUATION.
>> Reporter: BUT WITH NO SENSE 
OF EXACTLY WHEN EVERYONE WILL BE
ABLE TO COME HOME AND MORE THAN 
A THOUSAND BUILDINGS SO FAR 
KNOWN TO BE DAMAGED, REPAIRS 
WILL BE COSTLY AND THE RECOVERY 
LONG.
RAFFY BOUDJIKANIAN, CBC NEWS, 
FORT McMURRAY.
>> Ian: ALBERTA'S ALSO GRAPPLING
WITH CANADA'S LARGEST OUTBREAK 
OF COVID-19 AT A HUGE WORKPLACE 
SET TO REOPEN ON MONDAY UNLESS 
THE UNION THERE CAN STOP IT.
THE CARGILL MEAT PROCESSING 
PLANT IS A BIG PART OF THE FOOD 
SUPPLY.
2000 EMPLOYEES PROCESS 4500 HEAD
OF CATTLE EVERY DAY.
BUT RAMPANT INFECTIONS FORCE TO 
SHUT DOWN TWO WEEKS AGO, MORE 
THAN 900 WORKERS HAVE TESTED 
POSITIVE AND THE PLANT IS LINKED
TO NEARLY 1500 CASES.
A WORKER IN HER 60s DIED.
CAROLYN DUNN SHOWS US SOME ARE 
AFRAID TO GO BACK IN.
>> WE HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION 
YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD EXPOSURE TO 
SOMEONE WHO TESTED POSITIVE 
FOR -- 
>> Reporter: THIRD YEAR MEDICAL 
STUDENT AARON KELLY SENDS HER 
DAYS REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE WHO 
MAY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH 
INFECTED PERSONS.
WHILE SOME PEOPLE KNOW THE CALL 
IS COMING --
>> OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T EXPECTING
IT AT ALL.
AND CAN BE QUITE FREAKED OUT 
WHEN WE CALL THEM, SO PART OF 
OUR JOB IS PROVIDING 
REASSURANCE.
>> Reporter: BUT AS CARGILL 
GEARS UP TO REOPEN THE MASSIVE 
PLANT, MANY WORKERS ARE FAR FROM
REASSURED 
>> IT'S SO SCARY TO GO INTO WORK
EVERY DAY WONDERING, AM I GOING 
TO CONTRACT THIS VIRUS?
WILL I DIE FROM IT?
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY 
FAMILY IF I DIE?
>> WE'RE CALLING THIS WORKER 
RACHEL AND HIDING HER IDENTITY 
BECAUSE SHE FEARS LOSING HER JOB
FOR SPEAKING OUT.
SHE DOESN'T TRUST THE REOPENING 
BECAUSE EVEN AFTER THE OUTBREAK 
STARTED, PUBLIC HEALTH PROTOCOLS
WERE NOT BEING FOLLOWED.
>> TERRIFIED.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
EVERYBODY WAS COMING IN, THEY'RE
ASKING QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: THE PLANT WILL OPEN
SLOWLY.
ONE SHIFT A DAY TO BEGIN.
AND CARGILL SAYS IT HAS ENHANCED
SAFETY MEASURES INSIDE THE PLANT
AS WELL GETTING WORKERS TO AND 
FROM WORK SAFELY.
ALBERTA PREMIER JASON KENNEY 
SAYS THE REOPENING WILL HAPPEN 
UNDER STRICT OVERSIGHT.
>> BUT WE SIMPLY CANNOT SHUT 
DOWN EVERY FOOD PROCESSING PLANT
IN ALBERTA OR IN CANADA BECAUSE 
THAT WOULD CREATE AN OBVIOUS 
CRISIS IN TERMS OF FOOD 
SECURITY.
>> Reporter: BUT THE UNION 
REPRESENTING CARGILL WORKERS 
HOPES TO DO JUST THAT.
IT'S SEEKING A STOP-WORK ORDER 
AND EMERGENCY HEARING THIS 
WEEKEND TO PREVENT THE PLANT 
FROM OPENING AS SCHEDULED.
CAROLYN DUNN, CBC NEWS, HIGH 
RIVER, ALBERTA.
>> Ian: NOW TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO 
FEAR THEIR SAFETY ON THE JOB.
AND ALSO THE HEALTH OF THE 
PEOPLE THEY TEND TO.
NEARLY A MILLION CANADIANS RELY 
ON HOME CARE WORKERS.
ELLEN MAURO SHOWS US THE 
CALCULATED RISK SOME OF THOSE 
WORKERS NOW GRUDGINGLY ACCEPT.
>> THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SUPPLIED 
WITH.
>> Reporter: EVERY DAY ON THE 
JOB, THIS PERSONAL SUPPORT 
WORKER VISITS UP TO 10 CLIENTS 
IN THEIR HOMES.
>> WE ARE TO TAKE OUR SURGICAL 
MASK, SERVICE THE CLIENT, COME 
BACK TO OUR CARS, TAKE THE 
SURGICAL MASK OFF, PLACE IT IN 
THE BROWN PAPER BAG AND LEAVE IT
THERE UNTIL WE GET TO THE NEXT 
CLIENT.
>> Reporter: JODY FENLONG WORKS 
FOR A PRIVATE AGENCY PROVIDING 
HOME CARE ACROSS ONTARIO.
IN AN E-MAIL OBTAINED BY CBC 
NEWS, CARE PARTNER TELLS WORKERS
TO USE THE SAME MASK THEY START 
THE DAY WITH UNTIL THEY'VE DONE 
ALL THEIR VISITS, WITH 
EXCEPTIONS, AND CARRY THAT MASK 
CAREFULLY FROM HOME TO HOME IN A
PAPER BAG.
>> HOW IS WEARING ONE MASK FOR 
EVERY CLIENT WITH A BROWN PAPER 
BAG PROPER P.P.E.?
>> Reporter: IN NORMAL TIMES, IT
NEVER WOULD, BUT IN THE PANDEMIC
IT'S MORE COMMON.
EVEN AS PREMIER DOUG FORD 
MAINTAINS IN IS ENOUGH P.P.E. TO
GO AROUND.
>> IF THE CAREGIVERS NEED MASKS,
GIVE THEM THE MASKS.
>> Reporter: BUT CARE PARTNERS 
ISN'T ALONE.
EVEN HOSPITALS ARE REUSING 
MASKS.
>> IF ANYTHING CHANGES WITH THE 
PANDEMIC, WE WON'T BE LEFT WITH 
A SITUATION WHERE HEALTH CARE 
WORKERS ARE WEARING NOTHING.
>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS WEEK 
ONTARIO LOST ANOTHER CARE WORKER
TO COVID-19.
51-YEAR-OLD ARLENE REID.
>> SHE -- SHE WAS JUST OUR ROCK.
>> Reporter: REID'S CHILDREN 
SAID THEIR MOTHER WORRIED ABOUT 
NOT HAVING ENOUGH PROTECTIVE 
GEAR BUT WENT TO WORK ANYWAY.
A HERO, THEY SAY, AND A 
DEVASTATING LOSS.
>> I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE AND LIVE
WITHOUT MY MOM?
AND WHAT DO WE DO?
>> Reporter: WHILE OTHER CARE 
WORKERS FEAR THEIR OWN 
VULNERABILITY.
ELLEN MAURO, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: SASKATCHEWAN HAS A SPIKE
IN COVID-19 CASES.
26 PEOPLE HAVE TESTED POSITIVE.
19 OF THEM AROUND THE NORTHERN 
COMMUNITY OF LA LOCHE.
ACROSS CANADA, THERE ARE MORE 
THAN 55,000 CONFIRMED CASES AND 
MORE THAN 3500 DEATHS, BUT ALSO 
NOW MORE THAN 22,000 WHO HAVE 
BEEN SICK AND RECOVERED.
THAT RAISES A QUESTION EVERYONE 
WANTS ANSWERED.
ONCE YOU'VE RECOVERED, ARE YOU 
IMMUNE?
NOW GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF 
THAT IS A KEY GOAL FOR 
RESEARCHERS.
VIK ADHOPIA EXPLAINS WHAT'S 
INVOLVED.
>> Reporter: HERB KNAPP IS 
LEAVING THIS COVID-19 UNIT.
[APPLAUSE]
WITH THE WORST OVER, HIS 
RECOVERY CONTINUES IN ANOTHER 
WARD.
THE EVIDENCE SO FAR SHOWS THE 
ANTIBODIES HE DEVELOPED TO FIGHT
THE ILLNESS MEANS THE RISK OF 
REINFECTION FROM THE CORONAVIRUS
FOR PATIENTS LIKE HIM IS LOW.
>> IN MOST CASES YOU WOULD 
EXPECT THOSE ANTIBODIES TO 
PROVIDE YOU WITH PROTECTION FOR 
A PERIOD OF TIME.
IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT THAT PERIOD 
OF TIME IS.
AND IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT THE 
EXTENT OF PROTECTION IS.
>> Reporter: AND EVEN LESS IS 
KNOWN ABOUT PEOPLE WHO TEST 
POSITIVE FOR THOSE ANTIBODIES, 
BUT NEVER HAD ANY ACTUAL 
SYMPTOMS.
EVENTUALLY, THAT COULD BE MORE 
THAN HALF THE POPULATION.
THE SCIENCE ISN'T CLEAR ABOUT 
HOW MUCH PROTECTIVE IMMUNITY 
THEY HAVE FROM REINFECTION.
>> WHAT SORT OF LEVEL OF AUB DO 
YOU NEED TO BE PROTECTED?
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
THOSE ARE IMPORTANT RESEARCH 
QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: NOT HAVING THOSE 
ANSWERS HASN'T DISCOURAGED THE 
USE OF RAPID ANTIBODY TESTING BY
LABS AND HOSPITALS.
THEY CAN GIVE A QUICK SNAPSHOT 
OF WHERE WE ARE IN FLATTENING 
THE CURVE.
>> WOULD IT GIVE ME THE 
CONFIDENCE THAT I WAS READY TO 
QUEUE UP FOR A PINT OF BEER IN A
CROWDED CLUB?
NOT REALLY, NO.
>> Reporter: AND THAT'S 
FRUSTRATING FOR GOVERNMENTS 
EAGER TO GET OUT OF LOCKDOWN.
EXPANDING ANTIBODY TESTING 
WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THOSE
RESULTS, EXPOSURE AND IMMUNITY 
ALL MEAN HAS RISKS.
>> HERD IMMUNITY MAY BE A WEAK 
AND FRAGILE THING AND WE MAY BE 
SITTING DUCKS WAITING FOR 
REINFECTION.
>> Reporter: WE'LL ONLY KNOW FOR
SURE WHEN STREETS FILL UP AGAIN 
AND THERE IS A SECOND WAVE OF 
OUTBREAKS.
VIK ADHOPIA, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.

DOWNLOAD A NEW PHONE APP AIMED

THE PROVINCE.
>> ALBERTA TRACE TOGETHER RELIES
ON BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY TO LOG 
INTERACTIONS AS AN ENCRYPTED 
DIGITAL HANDSHAKE.
>> Ian: IF SOMEONE WITH THE APP 
TESTS POSITIVE, THEY'LL BE ASKED
TO UPLOAD DATA USED TO REACH 
CONTACTS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN 
INFECTED.
DR. HINSHAW SAYS PRIVACY WILL BE
PROTECTED.
THE PRIVACY COMMISSIONER SAYS 
THE AGENCY WILL BE MONITORING.
>> THE MORE WE TEST, THE MORE WE
FIND.
WE WANT TO FIND POSITIVE CASES.
WE WANT TO INVESTIGATE AROUND 
THOSE CASES TO GO UP THE 
TRANSMISSION CHAIN.
>> Ian: QUÉBEC IS PUSHING TO 
AGGRESSIVELY RAMP UP ITS TESTING
STRATEGY GOING FROM 6,000 DAILY 
TESTS TO 14,000 BY THE END OF 
THE WEEK.
STARTING MONDAY, PEOPLE WITH 
SYMPTOMS WILL BE ABLE TO CALL A 
NUMBER AND BE REFERRED TO A 
DESIGNATED SCREENING CENTRE.
AN APPOINTMENT SHOULD BE MADE 
AVAILABLE WITHIN 24 HOURS.
>>> FOR PEOPLE COMING INTO 
CANADA FROM ABROAD, THE ROUTINE 
AT AIRPORTS THESE DAYS IS MUCH 
DIFFERENT THAN A FEW WEEKS AGO.
THAT'S JUST ONE PART OF THIS 
COUNTRY'S COVID-19 STORY.
HERE'S TANYA FLETCHER.
>> HE'S THERE.
HE'S SOMEWHERE IN THERE.
>> Reporter: DEANNA McDONALD 
HASN'T SEEN HER SON IN OVER A 
YEAR.
>> THEY'RE ASKING HIM FOR THE 
PHONE NUMBER OF MY HUSBAND.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR A POSTAL 
CODE.
HE HAD OUR ADDRESS, BUT THERE IS
A COUPLE OF THINGS MISSING SO 
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE FULL 
FORM.
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE 
DETAILED QUARANTINE FORM ALL 
TRAVELLERS NOW HAVE TO FILL OUT.
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE 
THEY'LL BE STAYING AND HOW THEY 
PLAN TO GET THERE.
ROY AND DONNA NICHOLS HAD THEIR 
DAUGHTERS PICK THEM UP FROM THE 
AIRPORT.
AS SOON AS THEY LANDED THEY GOT 
QUARANTINE INSTRUCTIONS.
>> THEY WANT TO KNOW YOUR PLANS,
HOW YOU'RE GOING TO SUPPORT 
YOURSELF.
>> YEAH, AND WHO IS GOING TO GET
YOUR GROCERIES, MEDICATION AND 
ALL THAT 
>> AND YOU COULD BE FINED UP TO 
A MILLION DOLLARS.
>> YEAH, THEY MADE THAT CLEAR.
>> Reporter: THEY'VE BEEN WARNED
THEY'LL GET FOLLOW-UP CALLS AS 
WELL.
MORE THAN 9,000 HAVE BEEN MADE 
SO FAR.
INCLUDING ANNA AND HER PARTNER 
AFTER FLYING BACK FROM NEW 
ZEALAND.
>> JUST CHECKING MAKING SURE 
WE'RE OKAY, HAD FOOD, CLEANING 
PRODUCTS AND WE WEREN'T FEELING 
UNWELL.
>> Reporter: BUT THE B.C. 
GOVERNMENT SAYS ABOUT 500 CALLS 
WERE NOT RETURNED SO POLICE WERE
SENT TO THEIR DOORSTEPS.
>> THE OFFICER KNOCKS ON THE 
DOOR SAYS, HEY, THE PROVINCE HAS
BEEN TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF YOU,
YOU NEED TO CALL THEM BACK.
WHAT WE FOUND IS OVERWHELMINGLY 
EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE 
RESPONDED BACK AND ENGAGED WITH 
THE PROCESS.
>> Reporter: OVER THE PAST THREE
WEEKS 16,000 TRAVELLERS HAVE 
COME IN THROUGH CANADA THROUGH 
B.C. BORDERS, BUT 100 DID NOT 
PRESENT PROPER SELF-ISOLATION 
PLANS, SO THEY WERE PLACED UNDER
GOVERNMENT QUARANTINE AT HOTELS 
THROUGHOUT THE PROVINCE.
EVENTUALLY, DEANNA McDONALD IS 
REUNITED WITH HER SON.
A MOMENT OF TOGETHERNESS IN AN 
AGE OF ISOLATION.

THIS VIRUS IS GOING TO BE OUT 
THERE FOR SOME TIME.
AND THE BANK OF CANADA WILL PLAY
ITS ROLE.
>> Ian: MACKLEM IS A LONGTIME 
VETERAN OF THE BANK.
HE REPLACES STEPHEN POLOZ WHOSE 
TERM EXPIRES JUNE 2ND.
THE SWITCH IS HAPPENING AT A 
DICEY TIME FOR THE CANADIAN 
ECONOMY.
THE GOVERNMENT CERB PROGRAMME IS
MEANT TO EASE SOME OF THE PAIN.
AS CATHERINE CULLEN EXPLAINS, 
SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO VIEW IT AS 
AN OPPORTUNITY.
>> Reporter: AS THE FINANCIAL 
PRESSURE FROM THE OUTBREAK 
BUILDS, MILLIONS HAVE RECEIVED 
THE CANADA EMERGENCY RESPONSE 
BENEFIT, INCLUDING SOME WHO 
SHOULDN'T HAVE.
>> THIS IS KIND OF JUST IN ITS 
INFANCY.
>> Reporter: THIS CREDIT 
COUNSELOR SAYS HE WAS CALLED TO 
OFFER ADVICE.
>> THE PERSON APPLIED AND 
SHOULDN'T HAVE.
THEY DIDN'T QUALIFY.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS THE MAN'S 
CASEWORKER FOUND OUT ABOUT THE 
APPLICATION AND CONVINCED HIM TO
GIVE THE MONEY BACK AVOIDING 
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
>> THIS PERSON WAS IN SUBSIDIZED
HOUSING, WAS ON PROVINCIAL 
DISABILITY PENSION, AND ALL OF 
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN EFFECTED.
>> Reporter: HE IS NOT ALONE.
ONE CANADA REVENUE AGENCY WORKER
TELLS CBC NEWS THAT EVERY DAY 
SHE SEES PEOPLE RECEIVING THE 
BENEFIT WHO SHOULDN'T BE 
ELIGIBLE.
IT'S EVERYTHING FROM PEOPLE 
COERCED INTO APPLYING BY FAMILY 
MEMBERS TO THOSE WHO WANT QUICK 
CASH.
WE'VE HAD SOMEONE ELSE READ HER 
WORDS BECAUSE SHE FEARS 
PUNISHMENT FOR SPEAKING.
>> WHEN I QUIZ THEM ABOUT, THERE
IS LAUGHING IN MY FACE TO 
UNDERSTANDING THERE IS A 
LOOPHOLE.
>> Reporter: THEY COULD LOSS 
ACCESS TO BENEFITS.
>> IT COULD AFFECT YOUR HOUSING.
>> Reporter: CHEQUES HAVE BEEN 
SENT TO JAILS BUT STOPPED BY 
CORRECTIONS OFFICERS.
>> WE KNEW THE RISK WAS THERE, 
BUT IT WAS CALCULATED.
>> Reporter: THE EMPLOYMENT 
MINISTER SAYS SHE WAS AWARE THIS
PROGRAMME WOULD BE EASIER TO 
ABUSE, BUT SHE WARNS THE 
GOVERNMENT WILL BE CHECKING UP 
ON THOSE WHO RECEIVE IT.
>> WE'RE GOING TO CROSS 
REFERENCE PAYMENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW UP ON 
PEOPLE IF WE HEAR FOR EXAMPLE 
SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN TRUTHFUL.
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS SHE'S 
SYMPATHIZES WITH SOMEBODY 
FEELING FINANCIALLY SQUEEZED, 
BUT SHOULDN'T TAKE THE RISK OF 
BEING DISHONEST TO GET THE 
BENEFIT.
>> Ian: FOR THE FIRST TIME, JOE 
BIDEN IS DIRECTLY ADDRESSING AN 
ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
>> IT IS NOT TRUE, IT NEVER, 
NEVER HAPPENED.
>> Ian: UP NEXT, THE DENIAL AND 
THE COMPLICATION FOR HIS 
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

WITH CELEBRITY CHEFS.
>> COOKING LESSONS IN 
QUARANTINE.

TO SHOW KIM JONG-UN'S FIRST 
PUBLIC APPEARANCE AFTER WEEKS OF

THEY RELEASED THE IMAGES.
RUMOURS SWIRLED AFTER KIM MISSED
CELEBRATIONS OF HIS BIGGEST 
HOLIDAY ON APRIL 15TH.
SOME REPORTS SUGGESTED HE WAS IN
GRAVE DANGER AFTER UNDERGOING 
HEART SURGERY.
>>> IN THE UNITED STATES, 
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL 
CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN IS DENYING 
AN ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
A FORMER STAFFER SAYS IT 
HAPPENED IN 1993 WHEN BIDEN WAS 
A SENATOR.
SUSAN ORMISTON HAS MORE FROM 
WASHINGTON AND A WARNING, SOME 
MIGHT FIND THE DESCRIPTION OF 
THE ALLEGATION DISTURBING.
>> NO, IT IS NOT TRUE.
I'M SAYING UNEQUIVOCALLY, IT 
NEVER, NEVER HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: UNDER PRESSURE FROM
EVEN HIS OWN PARTY, JOE BIDEN 
FINALLY ANSWERED THE ALLEGATION 
IN 1993 HE ASSAULTED A SENATE 
AIDE.
>> I DON'T REMEMBER ANY TYPE OF 
COMPLAINT SHE MAY HAVE MADE.
IT WAS 27 YEARS AGO.
>> Reporter: TARA READE WORKED 
FOR NINE MONTHS IN BIDEN'S 
OFFICE.
DECADES PASSED AND THEN LAST 
MONTH FOR THE FIRST TIME --
>> WE WERE ALONE AND IT WAS THE 
STRANGEST THING -- 
>> Reporter: SHE DETAILED A 
MOMENTUM WHERE BIDEN PRESSED HER
UP AGAINST THE WALL.
>> I REMEMBER THE COLDNESS OF 
THE WALL.
HIS HANDS UNDER MY SKIRT AND HIS
FINGERS PENETRATING ME.
>> Reporter: BACK THEN HER 
BROTHER AND FRIEND SAY SHE TOLD 
THEM, BUT SENATE STAFFERS SAY 
THERE WAS NO COMPLAINT FROM 
READE OR ANYONE ELSE.
BUT JUST LAST YEAR, EIGHT WOMEN,
INCLUDING READE ACCUSED JOE 
BIDEN OF INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING.
HE ACKNOWLEDGED HIS TACTILE KIND
OF POLITICKING, BUT RECOGNIZED 
THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND SO 
MUST HE.
NOW THE LIKELY DEMOCRATIC 
NOMINEE IS FORCED IT WALK A FINE
LINE BETWEEN STANDING UP FOR 
WOMEN IN THE #METOO ERA AND 
DEFENDING HIMSELF.
>> ANY WOMEN, THEY SHOULD COME 
FORWARD, THEY SHOULD BE HEARD 
AND THEN IT SHOULD BE 
INVESTIGATED.
>> Reporter: DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
AMY KLOBUCHAR AND KAMALA HARRIS 
BOTH DEFEND BIDEN.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO HAS 
WAVED OFF MULTIPLE SEXUAL 
MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS SEEMS TO 
--
>> THERE IS NO CHANCE BIDEN'S 
DEFENCE WILL BE THE LAST WORD.
TARA READE IS NEGOTIATING HER 
FIRST TV INTERVIEW, PERHAPS AS 
EARLY AS THIS WEEKEND WITH FOX 
TELEVISION.
>> Ian: MAYBE A PROTEST TOOK 
PLACE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES 
TODAY, BUT THEY LOOKED DIFFERENT
THAT YEAR.
>> THEY'RE NOT CONSIDERING THE 
PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS 
>> Ian: THIS WAS THE SCENE IN 
CHICAGO AS DOZENS OF PEOPLE 
DEMANDED AN END TO ILLINOIS'S 
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS.
A CARAVAN OF CARS SUPPORTED THE 
MEASURES CALLING FOR FURTHER 
RELIEF.
THESE NURSES IN CALIFORNIA 
JOINED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS 
NATIONWIDE TO DEMAND MORE 
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
THERE WERE PROTESTS IN NEW YORK 
TODAY, TOO.
ITS GOVERNOR HAS OUTLINED A PLAN
TO REOPEN LOW-RISK BUSINESSES BY
MID MAY, BUT THE PROCESS WILL BE
GRADUAL AND SLOW.
AND FOR INDUSTRIES LIKE TOURISM

LONG TIME BEFORE ANYONE IS BACK

AFTER HIS STARRING RUN IN THE

AUDITIONS SHUTTING DOWN, IT WAS 
TIME TO COME HOME.
>> I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF KIND 
OF FISHING FOR THE BIG FISH WHEN
THIS ALL KIND OF CAME DOWN.
AND WE JUMPED SHIP AND CAME UP 
TO SASKATCHEWAN.
>> Reporter: THE CURTAINS ARE 
CLOSED UNTIL AT LEAST JUNE 7.
UNLIKE 9/11 WHEN THEATRES 
REOPENED TWO DAYS LATER TO SHOW 
THE CITY' RESILIENCE, THIS TIME 
EVENTS THAT DRAW BIG CROWDS WILL
BE AMONG THE LAST TO REOPEN.
>> IF THEY TOLD US TODAY WE 
COULD COME BACK, WE WOULDN'T BE 
ABLE TO COME BACK UNTIL 4-6 
WEEKS, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET 
THE CAST TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: THE BROADWAY TRADE 
ASSOCIATION SAYS MOST SHOWS 
CAN'T AFFORD TO RUN IN HALF 
EMPTY THEATERS, SO THEY NEED 
SOCIAL DISTANCING RULES EASED 
AND HAVE SAFETY MEASURES IN 
PLACE TO PROTECT BOTH THE 
AUDIENCE AND THE PERFORMERS.
TOURISTS MAKE UP 65% OF BROADWAY
AUDIENCES, SO THE DOMINO EFFECT 
HITS THE CITY HOTELS.
INSIDER SAY THE KEY GOING BEYOND
TESTING AND SLOWING INFECTION.
>> THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS IF 
PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES ARE 
ABLE TO CONVINCE EVERYBODY IT'S 
SAFE TO COME BACK.
>> Reporter: NEW YORK HOTELS ARE
DISCUSSING A RATING SYSTEM LIKE 
HEALTH GRADES IN RESTAURANTS TO 
ENSURE VISITORS IT'S SAFE.
>> THAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT, IN 
TERMS OF SANITATION, SOCIAL 
DISTANCING, IN TERMS OF 
EQUIPMENT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT 
WILL COME.
>> Reporter: BACK ON THE FARM, 
PAUL NOLAN IS LOOKING AT A LONG 
HIATUS.
>> I'LL BE LUCKY TO BE 
AUDITIONING UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE'LL BE 
BACK BECAUSE THE SHOW MUST GO ON
EVENTUALLY.
>> Ian: AHEAD TONIGHT, CULINARY 
STARS REPLACE FINE DINING WITH 
HOME COOKING.
>> MOTHERS AND FATHERS, THREE, 
FOUR, FIVE CHILDREN AT HOME, 
THEY CAN'T BE FINE-STRAINING 
THEIR SOUP.
>> Ian: LOOK AT HOW THE 
CELEBRITY COOKING WORLD IS 
IMPROVISING DURING THE PANDEMIC.
>>> FIRST, THOUGH, WE PUT YOUR 
QUESTIONS TO THE FINANCIAL 
EXPERTS INCLUDING HOW CAN I 
SPEAK TO MY LANDLORD ABOUT RENT 
ISSUES WITHOUT PUTTING
>> Ian: WELCOME BACK.
TIME FOR YOUR COVID QUESTIONS.
TONIGHT, WE'RE FOCUSING ON A 
SOURCE OF ANXIETY FOR A LOT OF 
PEOPLE.
FINANCES.
AND WHILE THE QUESTIONS ARE 
SPECIFIC, I THINK THERE IS A 
WIDER RELEVANCE TO A LOT OF 
THEM.
LET'S BRING IN THE TWO PERSONAL 
FINANCE COMMENTATORS, PREET 
BANERJEE AND RUBINA AHMED-HAQ.
RUBINA, LET'S START WITH YOU.
HOW CAN I SPEAK TO MY LANDLORD 
ABOUT RENT ISSUES WITHOUT 
PUTTING MYSELF IN THE POSITION 
TO BE EVICTED?
>> WELL, THERE IS NO FEDERAL 
RENT RELIEF PROGRAMME FOR 
RESIDENTIAL TENANTS RIGHT NOW.
THAT REALLY HAD BEEN PUT ON THE 
PROVINCES.
SO IF YOU LIVE IN A PROVINCE 
WHERE THERE IS RENT RELIEF, YOU 
SHOULD BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF 
THAT IF YOU'RE IN FINANCIAL 
DISTRESS.
MOST PROVINCES AND TERRITORIES 
HAVE PUT A MORATORIUM ON 
EVICTION, SO YOU DON'T NEED TO 
WORRY IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM, BUT
THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS 
SPEAK TO YOUR LANDLORD OR 
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
ONE COMPANY THAT I KNOW HERE IN 
TORONTO HAS A COVID-19 PLAN IN 
PLACE.
THEY'RE ALLOWING TENANTS TO PAY 
50% OF THE RENT NOW AND 50% DOWN
THE ROAD WHEN THEY GET THE JOB 
BACK.
THAT HELPS THE TENANT OUT BY NOT
GETTING IN DEBT AND HELPING THE 
LANDLORD PAY THE OVERHEAD COSTS.
>> Ian: HERE WE ARE, MAY 1ST, 
BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, THOSE 
CONVERSATIONS LIKELY GOING ON.
PREET, LET'S TURN THE FOCUS TO 
COMMERCIAL RENT.
THE QUESTION HOW CAN THE 
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME HELP MY 
SMALL BUSINESS, WHAT IF IT 
DIDN'T ENOUGH?
>> YEAH, GREAT QUESTION.
A LOT OF LANDLORDS AND TENANTS 
HAVE THIS EXACT QUESTION BECAUSE
THE CRITERIA TO BE ELIGIBLE IS 
PRETTY STRICT.
THE SMALL BUSINESS HAS TO SHOW A
70% DECLINE IN REVENUES AND IF 
THEY QUALIFY, THEY COULD GET 
POTENTIALLY 75% OF THEIR RENT 
REDUCED, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THE 
LANDLORD THAT HAS TO MAKE THE 
APPLICATION.
THE LANDLORD HAS TO EAT 25% OF 
THE NORMAL RENT AND THE 
REMAINDER IS COVERED BY THE 
GOVERNMENT.
SO BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE TOUGH FOR
BUSINESSES TO QUALIFY, WHAT YOU 
MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IS STILL 
NEGOTIATE DIRECTLY WITH OUR 
LANDLORD.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO FALL UNDER 
THE PURVIEW OF ANY OF THESE 
PROGRAMMES.
AND SIMILAR TO WHAT RUBINA SAID,
BE PROACTIVE AND TALK TO YOUR 
LANDLORD, MAYBE YOU CAN WORK OUT
A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.
>> Ian: I'M A SINGLE MOM LIVING 
IN HOUSING WITH NO CHILD SUPPORT
BECAUSE THE FATHER WAS LAID OFF.
>> ONE OF THE OPTIONS IS TO SEE 
IF YOU QUALIFY FOR THE CERB.
THAT WOULD HELP YOU OUT WITH 
$2,000 UP TO 16 WEEKS IN 
FOUR-WEEK PERIODS.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE -- BECAUSE THE 
PROBLEM IS PROBABLY CASH FLOW --
YOU CAN SEE WHAT CAN YOU DEFER?
IT COULD BE YOUR MORTGAGE, 
SPEAKING TO YOUR UTILITY 
COMPANIES ABOUT GOING ON A 
PAYMENT PLAN.
IF YOU DRIVE, TAKE YOUR CAR OFF 
INSURANCE IF YOU'RE NOT DRIVING.
AUTO INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE 
GIVING THAT BREAK.
SO DEALING WITH IMMEDIATE CASH 
FLOW PROBLEMS IS THE FIRST 
THING.
AND SPEAK TO THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE BENEFITS AVAILABLE FOR 
CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY PARENTS.
THERE IS AN EXTRA UP TO $300 PER
CHILD COMING WITH THE CCB AND 
THAT IS AUTOMATIC.
IF YOU ALREADY GET THE CCB, 
YOU'LL BE GETTING UP TO $300 IN 
THE MAY PAYMENT.
>> Ian: THERE IS A LOT 
INTERESTING THERE, INCLUDING THE
CAR INSURANCE THING.
A LOT OF CARS SITTING IN FRONT 
OF HOUSES OR IN GARAGES NOT USED
AND STILL PAYING INSURANCE ON 
THOSE.
PREET, NEXT QUESTION.
MY MATERNITY LEAVE IS COMING TO 
AN END, WILL I GET E.I. IF I 
CAN'T WORK BECAUSE OF COVID?
>> ANOTHER COMMON QUESTION.
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS IF YOUR 
MATERNITY PERIOD ENDS AND YOU'RE
UNABLE TO FIND WORK, THEN YOU 
FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF 
SOMEONE WHO STOPPED WORK DUE TO 
COVID-19 AND YOU'D BE ELIGIBLE 
TO APPLY FOR THE CERB, WHICH 
AGAIN PAYS THE $2,000 PER MONTH.
AGAIN, SUBJECT TO THE OTHER 
CRITERIA, WHICH IS YOU HAD 
INCOME OF 5,000 IN 2018 AND THE 
OTHER CRITERIA FOR THE CERB.
>> Ian: WILL THIS PERIOD OF 
UNEMPLOYMENT AFFECT MY CHANCES 
OF GETTING A MORTGAGE IN THE 
FUTURE?
>> WHEN YOU GO AND APPLY FOR A 
MORTGAGE, THE LENDER IS GOING TO
LOOK AT YOUR FINANCIAL 
SITUATION, HOW MUCH DEBT YOU'RE 
IN, HOW YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE
YOUR DEBT PAYMENT, WHETHER THAT 
BE ON YOUR CREDIT CARD, UTILITY 
COMPANY.
IF YOU'RE GOING INTO DEBT AND 
MISSING PAYMENTS, THEN 
ABSOLUTELY, IT COULD AFFECT YOUR
ABILITY TO GET A MORTGAGE.
ALSO IF YOU'VE SEEN YOUR INCOME 
DROP, THAT IS GOING TO AFFECT 
YOUR ABILITY TO GET A MORTGAGE.
ALL THE THINGS HAPPENING NOW, 
THEY DON'T HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT 
ON YOUR CREDIT SCORE, BUT 
DEFINITELY WHEN YOU GO AND APPLY
FOR A MORTGAGE, THEY'RE GOING TO
LOOK AT THOSE FACTORS BEFORE YOU
LEND YOU MONEY.
>> Ian: NICE HEARING FROM BOTH 
OF YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND OF COURSE, WE CONTINUE TO 
ASK YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT 
COVID-19 ON THE PROGRAMME.
SO SEND THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
YOU CAN MESSAGE US DIRECTLY ON 
INSTAGRAM OR SEND US AN E-MAIL.
JUST PUT "THE NATIONAL" IN THE 
SUBJECT LINE.
>>> PANDEMIC PIVOT ON THE 
MANUFACTURING LINE.
FROM CAR PARTS TO FACE SHIELDS.
AND LATER -- 
[APPLAUSE]
>> Ian: WHAT A WAY TO MAKE AN 
EXIT.
AN EMOTIONAL THANK YOU AND ROUND
OF APPLAUSE AFTER RECOVERING 
FROM COVID-19.
THAT IS AHEAD.
FIRST, HERE'S ANDREW WITH THE 
PANDEMIC HOW-TO GUIDE.
>> Andrew: WE'RE TOLD OVER AND 
OVER AGAIN, DON'T TOUCH YOUR 
FACE.
THAT'S BECAUSE THE VIRUS GETS IN
THROUGH YOUR NOSE, MOUTH AND 
EYES.
BUT IF YOU WEAR CONTACTS, ANSWER
THAT YOU'RE TOUCHING BOTH EYES 
AT LEAST TWICE A DAY.
SHOULD YOU STOP?
>> EYES ARE A PLACE WHERE YOU 
COULD GET INOCULATED WITH THE 
VIRUS.
THE WAY TO PROTECT AGAINST THAT 
IS TO WASH YOUR HANDS EXTREMELY 
WELL WITH SOAP AND WATER 20 
SECONDS BEFORE HANDLING YOUR 
CONTACTS.
>> Andrew: THE ADVICE IS THE 
SAME AS IT HAS BEEN.
IF YOU'RE TOUCHING YOUR EYES, 
WASH YOUR HANDS WELL.
BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF 
GLASSES, SHOULD YOU?
>> I'VE BEEN WEARING MY GLASSES 
MORE OFTEN BECAUSE IT PROTECTS 
AGAINST DROPLETS.
BUT
HEY THERE, I'M JAMIE CAMPBELL, 
HOST OF BLUE JAYS CENTRAL.
I JOINED AN AMAZING GROUP OF 
VOLUNTEERS CALLED CONQUER 
COVID-19.
I HAVE A CAR FULL OF GREAT 
STUFF, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 
GOING TO NORTHERN ONTARIO.
SOMETIMES I LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT 
WONDERING IF I'M DOING ENOUGH TO
ENSURE THE HEALTH OF MY OWN TWO 
CHILDREN.
I'M QUITE CERTAIN I AM AT THIS 
POINT, BUT HERE'S WHERE I FIND 
HOPE.
AND MAYBE I'M INSTILLING THIS IN
THOSE TWO BOYS.
BY SHOWING THEM THAT THE ESSENCE
OF BEING CANADIAN IS THAT WE'RE 
WILLING TO HELP EACH OTHER 
THROUGH A DIFFICULT PERIOD.
>> HEY THERE, NORTH BAY.
I COME BEARING GIFTS.
THANKS, JAMIE.
>> THANK YOU FROM NORTH BAY.
>> Ian: CANADIANS ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY HAVE BEEN MOBILIZING 
LIKE JAMIE TO HELP DURING THE 
PANDEMIC.
AND SOME COMPANIES ARE ALSO 
PLAYING A PART RETOOLING 
PRODUCTION LINES TO FILL NEEDS 
ON THE FRONT LINE.
NICK PURDON VISITED ONE ONTARIO 
FACTORY.
>> TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, 
RIGHT?
THERE IS A BIG SENSE OF URGENCY.
>> Reporter: JOE IS USING HIS 
FACTORY TO FIGHT COVID-19.
HE SPENT HIS LIFE BUILDING AN 
AUTO PARTS BUSINESS.
THAT'S NOW ON HOLD.
JOE COULD HAVE TURNED OUT THE 
LIGHTS HERE, BUT HE SAYS THE 
STAKES ARE TOO HIGH.
>> WE JUST WANT TO HAVE AN 
IMPACT.
I THINK OUR GENERATIONS HAD LIFE
SO GOOD FOR THE LONGEST TIME, 
FOR DECADES.
THIS IS LIKE OUR WORLD WAR III.
>> Reporter: JOE DIDN'T WAIT.
HIS COMPANY STARTED RETOOLING TO
BUILD FACE SHIELDS INSTEAD OF 
CENTRE CONSOLES FOR CARS BEFORE 
ANYBODY EVEN WAS GOING TO TAKE 
THEM.
>> WE THINK THE FIRST SHIPMENT 
IS GOING OUT TODAY.
>> Reporter: THE COMPANY ISN'T 
MAKING MONEY DOING THIS.
AND WHAT IS MORE, ALL THE PEOPLE
WORKING HERE, LIKE DANIELLE 
MacLEOD, THEY COULD HAVE STAYED 
HOME, BUT INSTEAD THEY 
VOLUNTEERED.
>> WELL, THE DOCTORS AND NURSES 
ARE OUT THERE EVERY DAY, 
STRUGGLING TO KEEP US SAFE, SO 
WHATEVER LITTLE PART WE CAN DO 
TO HELP THEM OUT IS AMAZING.
>> Reporter: THIS IS THE SAFETY 
MANAGER AT THE PLANT.
SO NORMALLY, HE DOESN'T GO NEAR 
THE MACHINES.
>> IT'S COOL TO HAVE WORKED IN 
AN INDUSTRY WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO 
RETOOL SO QUICKLY TO PRODUCE 
SOMETHING THAT IS NOT NORMALLY A
PRODUCT OF OURS.
>> Reporter: MITCHELL PLASTIC IS
ON TARGET TO DELIVER HALF A 
MILLION FACE SHIELDS TO WORKERS.
NOW THEY'RE WORKING ON HOW TO 
MASS PRODUCE TEST SWABS.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST MITCHELL 
PLASTICS, IT'S A LOT BIGGER THAN
THAT.
>> I'VE CALLED IT THE LARGEST 
PEACE TIME MOBILIZATION OF 
CANADA'S INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY.
IT IS HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES.
THOUSANDS OF FACTORIES.
>> Reporter: THAT'S FLAVIO 
VOLPE.
PRESIDENT OF THE AUTOMOTIVE 
PARTS MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION.
>> WE'RE JUST LIKE IN WORLD WAR 
II WHEN WE WERE MAKING PLANES 
AND GUNS.
DURING THE PANDEMIC, THE PEOPLE 
ON THE FRONT LINE NEED THINGS TO
GET BETWEEN THEM AND THE ENEMY.
I GET MESSAGES FROM FRONT-LINE 
HEALTH WORKERS IN TEARS.
THEY SAY WE'RE THERE TO SERVE, 
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW UP TO WORK, 
BUT WE'RE IN DANGER.
CAN YOU HELP?
>> Reporter: FLAVIO VOLPE SAYS 
WORKING TO PROTECT AGAINST COVID
IS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING 
THINGS HE'S EVER DONE.
AND IT'S THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE 
JOE AND HIS STAFF.
EVERYONE IS EAGER FOR THINGS TO 
RETURN TO NORMAL.
>> USUALLY THIS PLANT, THERE IS 
A BUZZ, YOU CAN JUST FEEL IT 
BEING VERY PRODUCTIVE.
IT'S FULL OF PEOPLE WORKING 
HARD.
MAKING THE FACE SHIELDS GIVES US
A GLIMMER OF HOPE IN AN 
OTHERWISE BAD SITUATION.
>> Ian: SOME OF THE BIGGEST 
NAMES IN THE CULINARY WORLD HAVE
ALSO HAD TO PIVOT SINCE THE 
PANDEMIC STARTED.
>> HI, GUYS.
>> Ian: NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL", 
COOKING AT HOME WITH CELEBRITY
>> Ian: FOODIES FORCED TO STAY 
HOME BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC ARE
COOKING UP A STORM.
AND THEY'RE GETTING INSPIRED BY 
CELEBRITY CHEFS SHARING THEIR 
WISDOM.
ELI GLASNER SERVES THIS ONE UP.
COOKING LESSONS.
COOPED UP CHICKEN.
>> Reporter: EVERY NIGHT, 
CELEBRITY CHEFS ARE MIXING 
COCKTAILS.
>> JUST WHAT EVERYBODY NEEDS.
>> Reporter: AND CONDUCTING 
COOKING CLASSES.
>> LIKE MANY, THIS CHEF IS 
FOCUSING ON FOOD THAT MAKES YOU 
FEEL GOOD.
WORKING FROM HIS PARENTS' 
KITCHEN, HE'S MODIFYING HIS 
APPROACH.
>> THERE ARE MOTHERS, FATHERS 
WITH THREE, FOUR, FIVE CHILDREN 
A HOME, THEY CAN'T BE 
FINE-STRAINING THEIR SOUP.
>> Reporter: AS THE COVID CRISIS
CONTINUES, COOKING CHANNELS ARE 
WHIPPING UP QUARANTINE-INSPIRED 
CONTENT.
LIKE THIS NEW SHOW THAT CREATES 
RECIPES WITH WHAT A VIEWER HAS 
ON HAND.
>> ONIONS, BASIL.
>> Reporter: WHILE MANY FOOD 
FANS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO 
RETURNING TO RESTAURANTS WHEN 
THE PANDEMIC SUBSIDES, THIS 
COMPETITOR SAYS DINING OUT WILL 
CHANGE DRAMATICALLY.
>> WE HAVE THE IDEA OF THE 
RESTAURANT AND LARGE FORMAT AND 
LARGE TABLES, LARGE GROUPS.
EVERYTHING IS DONE.
GOING TO GO TO THE WAYSIDE I'D 
SAY FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN TOP CHEF 
GAIL SIMMONS HAS GONE FROM 
JUDGING FINE DINING TO COMPETING
AGAINST THE CHAOS AT HOME.
>> THIS IS MY REAL KITCHEN 
BEHIND ME.
IT IS A CHALLENGE EVERY DAY.
>> Reporter: AS SOMEONE WHO 
LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY DURING 
9/11, SHE BELIEVES THE INDUSTRY 
WILL ADAPT.
>> WE WILL PIVOT.
TAKEOUT AND DELIVERY WILL BE 
STRONGER THAN EVER.
AND THE WAY WE SHARE FOOD WILL 
BECOME DIFFERENT PERHAPS.
THE WAY THAT CHEFS COOK AND WHAT
THEY COOK, I THINK, WILL BE MORE
IN TUNE WITH THE WAY WE ALL NEED
TO FEED OURSELVES AND NOURISH 
OURSELVES.
>> Reporter: UNTIL THEN, SHE'S 
SERVING UP DOLLOPS OF COMFORT 
ONE RECIPE AT A TIME.
ELI GLASNER, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Ian: YEP.
HUNGRY NOW.
GOOD NEWS.
A PATIENT WHO TESTS POSITIVE FOR
COVID-19 AT AN ALBERTA HOSPITAL 
GETS TO GO HOME.
THERE IS A GREAT STORY BEHIND
ENUCLEATE IS FINALLY BACK WITH
HER DAUGHTER, LOUISE AFTER
BATTLING COVID-19 IN A HOSPITAL.
THE 80-YEAR-OLD GOT A HOMECOMING
FILLED WITH GRATITUDE AND
CELEBRATION AND THAT IS OUR
"MOMENT."
>> THE TRANSITION COORDINATOR
SAID WE MIGHT NEED A FEW MINUTES
BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE YOUR
MOTHER A NICE SEND-OFF BECAUSE
SHE IS THE FIRST PERSON TO LEAVE
OUR UNIT THAT TESTED COVID
POSITIVE.
>> SUCH A SEND-OFF, IT WAS
UNBELIEVABLE, BUT YEAH, AFTER
BEING THERE FOR FIVE WEEKS, THEY
WERE LIKE FAMILY.
>> OUR FAMILY CANNOT THANK YOU
ENOUGH.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS
HALLWAY AND YOU GUYS HAVE CARED
ENOUGH FOR MUM WHEN WE COULDN'T
BE HERE AND YOU'RE A FAMILY.
THANK YOU.
>> THEY LOOKED AT AND WALL TO
WALL STAFF ON BOTH SIDES AND
RIGHT BY THE DESK WAS MY SWEET
LITTLE MOTHER, SMILING AND
WAIVING.
NONE OF US THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE
THE CASE.
NO(APPLAUSE).
>> Ian:  SO SHE HAD A FRACTURED
PELVIS, SHE HAD COVID-19 AND A
FEW WEEKS AGO, THE PROGNOSIS WAS
NOT LOOKING VERY GOOD BUT SHE
SAID HER HUSBAND HAD DIED BACK
IN JANUARY AND DIDN'T WANT HER
FAMILY TO LOSE ANOTHER PARENT,
ANOTHER GRANDPARENT AND SHE MADE
SURE SHE WOULD PULL THROUGH, SHE
DID AND WHAT A MARVEL FOR HER
FAMILY AND CLEARLY ALL OF THE
PEOPLE ON THAT FLOOR.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" FOR
MAY 1st.
GOODNIGHT.
