>>> HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR, 
2020 IS ON PACE TO BE THE 
DEADLIEST IN TWO DECADES WHEN IT
COMES TO CANADIAN ENCOUNTERS 
WITH POLICE.
WE'VE SEEN ABOUT 30 SUCH DEATHS 
ANNUALLY IN RECENT YEARS.
THIS YEAR THERE HAVE ALREADY 
BEEN 30.
THAT'S JUST ONE FINDING IN OUR 
CBC NEWS PROJECT "DEADLY FORCE" 
WHERE WE CREATED A DATABASE 
BECAUSE THERE IS NO OFFICIAL 
COUNT ANYWHERE ELSE.
WE CHECKED SOURCES, INCLUDING 
COURT CASES AND MEDIA REPORTS 
OVER A 20-YEAR PERIOD, AND 
TONIGHT TWO STORIES HIGHLIGHT 
TWO KEY TAKEAWAYS.
ONE, THAT BLACK AND INDIGENOUS 
PEOPLE ARE OVERREPRESENTED IN 
DEADLY ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE.
AND TWO, THAT MOST OF THE 
VICTIMS HAVE MENTAL HEALTH OR 
SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES.
NOW THAT IS WHERE WE'LL START, 
WITH THE STORY OF A MISSISSAUGA,
ONTARIO MAN SHOT DEAD BY POLICE 
IN JUNE DURING A MENTAL HEALTH 
CRISIS.
"THE FIFTH ESTATE"'S MARK KELLY 
SPOKE TO HIS DAUGHTER. 
>> Reporter: IT STARTED WITH A 
CALL FOR HELP.
IT ENDED WITH A MAN SHOT DEAD.
[GUNSHOTS]
>> PUT IT DOWN!
>> Reporter: EJAZ CHOUDRY WAS 
SCHIZOPHRENIC.
HIS DAUGHTER CALLED THE PEEL 
REGIONAL POLICE NON-EMERGENCY 
LINE HOPING PARAMEDICS WOULD 
HELP HER AGITATED DAD.
>> FROM ALL I CAN REMEMBER IS 
COPS AFTER COPS AFTER COPS 
ARRIVING WITH GUNS JUST OUT, 
LIKE, IT'S ONE FRAIL 62-YEAR-OLD
MAN WHO WAS IN CRISIS.
>> Reporter: NEMRAH SAYS HER 
FATHER FEARED POLICE.
HE LOCKED HIMSELF INSIDE THEIR 
APARTMENT.
THE TACTICAL UNIT ARRIVED.
HE WAS STUNNED WITH A TASER, 
SHOT WITH RUBBER BULLETS AND 
THEN SHOT DEAD. 
>> THE TACTICAL TEAM SHOULD NOT 
HAVE BEEN CALLED.
THERE'S NO NEED.
EVEN THE POLICE OFFICERS WERE 
UNNECESSARY.
THIS WAS NOT A CRIMINAL.
THIS WAS SOMEONE IN A MENTAL 
HEALTH CRISIS THAT THE 
PARAMEDICS AND SOCIAL WORKERS 
SHOULD KNOW AND PROBABLY DO KNOW
HOW TO DEAL WITH.
>> Reporter: SINCE 2000, TWO 
THIRDS OF PEOPLE WHO DIED IN 
ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE STRUGGLED
WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, 
SUBSTANCE ABUSE, OR BOTH, 
ACCORDING TO THE CBC'S RESEARCH.
CRIMINOLOGIST SCOT WORTLEY SAYS 
DATA LIKE THIS IS A CRITICAL 
TOOL TO HOLD POLICE ACCOUNTABLE.
>> WHEN WE GET BROADER 
STATISTICAL INFORMATION THAT ARE
DOCUMENTING THESE PATTERNS YEAR 
AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, IT'S MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT FOR POLICE 
OFFICIALS AND POLITICIANS TO 
JUST TURN THEIR BACK AND SAY, 
YOU KNOW, THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE 
UNFOUNDED.
>> Reporter: 2020 IS SHAPING UP 
TO BE THE WORST YEAR IN DECADES 
FOR THE NUMBER OF CANADIANS 
KILLED BY POLICE.
NEMRAH CHOUDRY WANTS TO BE A 
SOCIAL WORKER AND BE PART OF THE
SOLUTION TO A GROWING PROBLEM.
>> THE BEST THING I WOULD SAY 
THAT ME AS A 19-YEAR-OLD SEES IN
THE FUTURE IS US GROWING UP AND 
TAKING CHARGE AND, LIKE, 
CHANGING THE WAY THINGS ARE.
>> Reporter: MARK KELLY, CBC 
NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW THAT CASE IS 
BEING INVESTIGATED BY ONTARIO'S 
POLICE WATCHDOG.
TODAY WE LEARNED THE OFFICER WHO
FATALLY SHOT EJAZ CHOUDRY IS 
REFUSING TO BE INTERVIEWED BY 
THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT,
AND HE WON'T SUBMIT HIS NOTES 
EITHER, NOR CAN HE BE FORCED 
TO.
NINE WITNESS OFFICERS HAVE BEEN 
INTERVIEWED.
>>> TO THE OTHER KEY FINDING OF 
OUR RESEARCH NOW, THAT 
INDIGENOUS AND BLACK PEOPLE WERE
OVERREPRESENTED IN DEADLY POLICE
ENCOUNTERS.
CAMERON MacINTOSH HAS MORE ON 
THAT ANGLE.
>> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF 
SUPPORT. 
>> Reporter: WILL HUDSON'S PAIN 
IS WRITTEN ON HIS TRUCK IN A 
CALL FOR CHANGE.
>> I CAN DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO 
DO TO TRY TO BE HEARD AND BE 
NOTICED OUT THERE.
>> Reporter: IN APRIL, HIS 
16-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER EISHIA WAS 
ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN A LIQUOR 
STORE ROBBERY IN WINNIPEG.
THAT ENDED IN A CHASE ENDING 
WITH POLICE FIRING SHOTS HEARD 
IN THIS EYE-WITNESS VIDEO. 
[GUNSHOTS]
>> TAKING MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE, 
THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THAT. 
>> Reporter: HUDSON SAYS HIS
DAUGHTER WAS WRONG TO HAVE BEEN 
INVOLVED, BUT INSISTS SHE SHOULD
NOT HAVE LOST HER LIFE. 
>> THE GUNSHOTS HAPPENED WAY FAR
TOO SOON. 
>> Reporter: THE SHOOTING IS 
UNDER AN INDEPENDENT 
INVESTIGATION.
WINNIPEG POLICE AREN'T 
COMMENTING.
WHEN HUDSON WAS KILLED, SHE WAS 
ONE OF THREE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE 
KILLED IN CONFRONTATIONS WITH 
WINNIPEG POLICE IN A PERIOD OF 
TEN DAYS.
THE CBC NEWS STUDY OF FATAL 
POLICE ENCOUNTERS SHOWS 
INDIGENOUS AND BLACK PEOPLE 
DISPROPORTIONATELY REPRESENTED, 
COMPARED TO THEIR SHARE OF THE 
OVERALL POPULATION.
THE CANADIAN POLICE ASSOCIATION 
IS POINTING TO POVERTY, VIOLENCE
AND ADDICTION IN MARGINALIZED 
COMMUNITIES AS AGGRAVATING 
FACTORS.
>> IF WE DON'T GET TO THOSE 
BROADER UNDERLYING SOCIETAL 
ISSUES THAT CAUSED THIS, THEN 
YOUR DATA'S NEVER GOING TO 
CHANGE. 
>> IN MANY OF THESE INSTANCES 
THE POLICE ARE JUSTIFIED IN 
USING THE FORCE THAT THEY DID, 
BUT WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE 
GREATER CIRCUMSTANCES. 
>> Reporter: AKWASI OWUSU-BEMPAH
IS A SOCIOLOGIST SPECIALIZING IN
RACE AND POLICING. 
>> AS CANADIANS, DO WE WANT TO 
SEE OUR BLACK POPULATION AND 
DO WE WANT TO SEE OUR INDIGENOUS
POPULATION DYING AT THE HANDS OF
STATE AGENCIES?
>> Reporter: MANITOBA GRAND 
CHIEF ARLEN DUMAS SAYS ATTITUDES
NEED TO SHIFT. 
>> I HAVE SEEN THE DIRECT 
RESULTS OF GIVING PEOPLE HOPE 
AND GIVING PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO GO DOWN IN A DIFFERENT WAY, 
AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY 
MILITARIZING YOUR POLICE FORCES.
>> Reporter: HUDSON'S FATHER 
BELIEVES RACISM IS PREVALENT IN 
POLICE CULTURE. 
>> COPS SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE 
TRAINING, SHOULD HAVE DID MORE 
THINGS TO PREVENT THIS.
>> Reporter: HE'S NOT WAITING ON
ANY INVESTIGATION TO DEMAND 
CHANGE.

>>> THERE ARE SEVERAL LATE 
DEVELOPMENTS TONIGHT ON A STORY 
OUT OF OTTAWA.
IT INVOLVES ALLEGATIONS OF A 
TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT IN THE 
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.
ASHLEY BURKE BROKE THE STORY 
EARLIER IN THE WEEK.
SHE JOINS US NOW WITH THE 
LATEST.
ASHLEY, WHAT'S HAPPENED?
>> Reporter: WELL, LATE THIS 
EVENING THE PRIVY COUNCIL OFFICE
RELEASED A STATEMENT CONFIRMING 
THAT IT WILL CONDUCT A 
THIRD-PARTY REVIEW OF HARASSMENT
CLAIMS AT RIDEAU HALL.
IN A STATEMENT, P.C.O. SAID 
TODAY IT INITIATED A THOROUGH, 
INDEPENDENT AND IMPARTIAL REVIEW
TO EXAMINE THE CONCERNS RAISED 
BY PAST AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES OF
GOVERNOR GENERAL'S OFFICE.
IT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE PRIORITY 
TO ADVANCE EFFORTS TO MORE 
EFFECTIVELY PREVENT AND RESOLVE 
ISSUES OF HARASSMENT.
NOW THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO OUR 
STORY TUESDAY IN WHICH A DOZEN 
SOURCES DESCRIBED A TOXIC 
ENVIRONMENT AT RIDEAU HALL AND A
CULTURAL OF FEAR THAT INVOLVED 
BELITTLING AND BERATING 
EMPLOYEES TO THE POINT WHERE 
SOME HAD BEEN REDUCED TO TEARS 
OR LEFT THE OFFICE ALL TOGETHER.
>> Andrew: AND ASHLEY, IS THERE 
ANY WORD OUT OF RIDEAU HALL ON 
THIS?
>> Reporter: BEHIND THE SCENES 
TODAY, SOURCES SAY THE 
ATMOSPHERE AT RIDEAU HALL RIGHT 
NOW IS HEAVY AND TENSE.
THERE WAS A VIRTUAL MEETING WITH
THE OMBUDSMAN AND THE EMPLOYEES 
TODAY IN LIGHT OF THE STORY, AND
JUST TONIGHT WE HEARD FROM THE 
GOVERNOR GENERAL JULIE PAYETTE 
FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE 
CLAIMS WERE PUBLISHED.
IN A STATEMENT PAYETTE SAID I AM
DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH THE MEDIA 
REPORTS REGARDING THE OFFICE OF 
THE GOVERNOR GENERAL AND I AM 
COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO ENSURING
THAT EVERY EMPLOYEE WHO WORKS AT
RIDEAU HALL ENJOYS A SECURE AND 
HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT AT ALL 
TIMES AND UNDER ALL 
CIRCUMSTANCES.
I TAKE HARASSMENT AND WORKPLACE 
ISSUES VERY SERIOUSLY AND AM IN 
FULL AGREEMENT AND WELCOME AN 
INDEPENDENT REVIEW.
AND YOU'LL ALSO NOTE THERE, 
ANDREW, SHE DID NOT DENY THE 
CLAIMS.
>> Andrew: OKAY, THANKS, ASHLEY.
ASHLEY BURKE WITH BREAKING 
DEVELOPMENTS TONIGHT.
>>> OKAY, LET'S TURN NOW TO THE 
We CHARITY STORY DOGGING THE 
TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT.
THE CONSERVATIVES ALREADY 
CALLING FOR FINANCE MINISTER 
BILL MORNEAU'S JOB, NOW WANT HIM
TO FACE A SECOND ETHICS 
INVESTIGATION.
EVAN DYER SHOWS US HOW WE GOT 
HERE.
>> WE HAVE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 
FIVE SECTIONS OF THE ETHICS ACT,
5, 6, 11, 21 AND 23 THAT BILL 
MORNEAU HAS VIOLATED.
HE AS MUCH AS ADMITTED IT 
YESTERDAY. 
>> Reporter: BILL MORNEAU'S 
ADMISSION THAT We PAID $41,000 
IN VACATION EXPENSES FOR HIS 
FAMILY HAS MADE HIM THE MAIN 
TARGET FOR THE OPPOSITION.
>> IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, MY 
WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER CLARE 
TRAVELLED TO KENYA TO LEARN 
ABOUT We SCHOOL PROJECTS.
>> Reporter: THAT TRIP IN JUNE 
2017 WAS ONE OF TWO THE MORNEAU 
FAMILY TOOK WITH We THAT YEAR.
IN DECEMBER, THE FAMILY 
TRAVELLED TO A We PROJECT IN 
ECUADOR. 
>> I EXPECTED AND ALWAYS HAD 
INTENDED TO PAY THE FULL COST OF
THESE TRIPS, AND IT WAS MY 
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT
WAS DONE.
>> Reporter: MORNEAU NOW 
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT WASN'T DONE.
We PAID OVER $41,000 TO COVER 
THE FAMILY'S COSTS.
FOUR MONTHS AFTER THAT TRIP, THE
MORNEAU FAMILY GAVE $50,000 TO 
We.
BEGINNING IN APRIL AND MAY THIS 
YEAR, OFFICIALS BEGAN TO DISCUSS
THE POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING We IN
CHARGE OF THE STUDENT SUMMER 
GRANTS PROGRAM.
MORNEAU'S OFFICE WAS INVOLVED IN
THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
THEN ON JUNE 19, HIS FAMILY 
DONATED ANOTHER $50,000 TO We.
SIX DAYS AFTER THAT, THE 
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED THAT We 
WOULD ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM.
>> CANADIANS DON'T BELIEVE THIS 
MINISTER.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT THE FIRST 
TIME BILL MORNEAU HAS FAILED TO 
DISCLOSE ASSETS OR BENEFITS.
THE TRIP TO ECUADOR CAME JUST 
WEEKS AFTER THE ETHICS 
COMMISSIONER RULED AGAINST HIM 
FOR FAILING TO DISCLOSE THE 
OWNERSHIP OF A VILLA IN FRANCE.
TODAY THE COMMONS ETHICS 
COMMITTEE VOTED TO CALL THE 
PRIME MINISTER TO TESTIFY, THE 
SECOND COMMITTEE TO DO SO.
HE'S ALREADY AGREED TO ANSWER 
QUESTIONS FROM THE FINANCE 
COMMITTEE BUT HASN'T ANSWERED 
THIS LATEST DEMAND.
EVAN DYER, CBC NEWS, GATINEAU, 
QUEBEC.
>> Andrew: CANADA'S TOP MILITARY
COMMANDER ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT 
HE IS RETIRING.
GENERAL JONATHAN VANCE HAS BEEN 
CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE STAFF FOR 
MORE THAN FIVE YEARS DURING 
WHICH HE TOOK ON THE ISSUE OF 
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN THE 
MILITARY AND SAW HIS TROOPS 
INVOLVED IN MORE DOMESTIC ROLES,
INCLUDING HELPING IN LONG-TERM 
CARE HOMES HIT HARD BY COVID-19.
IN A LETTER POSTED ONLINE TODAY,
VANCE SAID HE WILL STEP DOWN 
WITHIN MONTHS.
>>> WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT 
COVID-19.
THE ACTING HEALTH OFFICER OF 
ONTARIO'S NIAGARA REGION SAYS HE
IS DISAPPOINTED BY NEW VIDEO 
SHOWING PEOPLE IGNORING SAFETY 
RECOMMENDATIONS.
TODAY THE MAYOR OF NIAGARA FALLS
SENT SO-CALLED AMBASSADORS TO 
GREET TOURISTS.
THEY WILL BE SQUIRTING SANITIZER
INTO VISITORS' PALMS, SELLING 
MASKS AND REMINDING THEM ABOUT 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING.
>>> SCENES LIKE THAT HAVE LED A 
DOCTOR IN BRITISH COLUMBIA TO 
SEEK AN INJUNCTION REQUIRING 
MASKS IN INDOOR PUBLIC SPACES.
B.C. HAS 30 NEW CORONAVIRUS 
CASES TODAY, WHICH IS STILL FAR 
BEHIND QUEBEC'S 142, ALBERTA 
REPORTED 114 NEW CASES, ONTARIO 
103.
AND ACROSS CANADA, THERE ARE 
MORE THAN 5200 ACTIVE CASES OF 
COVID-19.
>>> THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, 
THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTPOURING OF 
GRATITUDE TO THOSE ON THE FRONT 
LINES, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, 
GROCERY STORE CLERKS, TRUCK 
DRIVERS, JUST TO NAME A FEW, BUT
AS TASHAUNA REID TELLS US, SOME 
OF THESE PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE 
BEING DENIED SERVICES PRECISELY 
BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO.
>> Reporter: IT WAS I.C.U. NURSE
HINDA HASSAN'S FIRST WEEK OFF 
SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED.
SHE BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A
CHIROPRACTOR AND MASSAGE 
THERAPIST, BUT SHORTLY AFTER 
ARRIVAL SHE WAS TURNED AWAY. 
>> IT WAS A LITTLE 
DISAPPOINTING, AND YOU COULD SEE
THERE WAS A HUGE INFORMATIONAL 
GAP.
>> Reporter: AT THE CLINIC, 
HASSAN FILLED OUT A COVID 
SCREENING CHECKLIST, IDENTIFYING
SHE HAS CONTACT WITH COVID-19 
PATIENTS, WEARS P.P.E. ON THE 
JOB AND HAS NO SYMPTOMS, BUT THE
CLINIC TOLD HER THEY CAN'T TREAT
HER UNLESS SHE DOES A COVID 
TEST. 
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS CRAZY 
BECAUSE WHAT REASSURES YOU 
BECAUSE IF I GO HAVE THE TEST 
TODAY, TOMORROW I GO BACK TO 
WORK, THEN WHAT?
>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO 
ONTARIO'S MINISTRY OF HEALTH 
GUIDELINES FOR HEALTH CARE 
PROVIDERS, HASSAN SHOULD HAVE 
BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE TREATMENT 
BECAUSE SHE WEARS P.P.E. DURING 
EXPOSURE AND HAD NO SYMPTOMS.
>> IF YOU NEEDED MY SERVICE, I 
CAN'T SAY, HEY, YOU'RE HIGH 
RISK, I'M SORRY, I CAN'T TAKE 
CARE OF YOU.
BUT THEN HERE YOU ARE AND YOU'RE
DENYING ME THOSE RIGHTS.
>> CLOROX WIPES, YEAH, TONS OF 
THOSE.
>> Reporter: LONG-HAUL TRUCK 
DRIVER BOB HEANS HAS RUN INTO 
ISSUES TOO. 
>> I CAN'T EVEN GO SEE MY 
DOCTOR.
MY DOCTOR WON'T EVEN SEE ME.
>> Reporter: HEANS REGULARLY 
TRAVELS TO THE U.S. AND SAYS HE 
CAN'T GET A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT
AND HIS WIFE'S DENTIST CANCELLED
A RECENT APPOINTMENT UNLESS SHE 
ISOLATES FOR 14 DAYS.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM 
TREAT US A LITTLE MORE FAIRLY.
>> Reporter: THE CANADIAN 
TRUCKING ALLIANCE SAYS IT'S 
LOOKING INTO HOW WIDESPREAD THE 
ISSUE IS.
>> ASKING TRUCK DRIVERS TO 
QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS BEFORE 
THEY GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IS, 
QUITE FRANKLY, UNACCEPTABLE.
>> Reporter: THE ROYAL COLLEGE 
OF DENTAL SURGEONS SAYS UNLESS 
THE PERSON IS IN NEED OF URGENT 
CARE, SOME PATIENTS CAN BE ASKED
TO DO A TEST OR ISOLATE.
AS FOR HASSAN, THE HEALTH CLINIC
APOLOGIZED AND UPDATED THEIR 
PROTOCOL FOR HEALTH WORKERS.
SHE PLANS TO RE-BOOK.
TASHAUNA REID, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: WELL, THE PANDEMIC 
HAS SENT MILLIONS OF WORKING 
CANADIANS TO SWAP THE OFFICE FOR
SPACE AT HOME, BUT THAT HAS COST
THEM MONEY, SO NOW AS AARON 
SALTZMAN TELLS US, SOME WANT THE
CANADA REVENUE AGENCY TO SEE IF 
THEY CAN GET SOME OF THAT MONEY 
BACK.
>> Reporter: WHEN OFFICE TOWERS 
EMPTIED AND MORE THAN THREE 
MILLION CANADIANS STARTED TO 
WORK REMOTELY FROM HOME, THEY 
ALSO TOOK HOME SOME OF THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT WORK, COSTS
THAT CAN BE CLAIMED ON YOUR 
TAXES.
>> THE OFFICE SUPPLIES THAT 
YOU'RE CONSUMING, THE INK TONER 
THAT YOU'RE CONSUMING, THOSE ARE
DEDUCTIBLES.
>> Reporter: DEPENDING ON THE 
SITUATION, YOU MAY ALSO BE ABLE 
TO DEDUCT CLEANING EXPENSES, 
UTILITY COSTS, EVEN A PORTION OF
YOUR RENT.
IN ORDER TO CLAIM THOSE 
DEDUCTIONS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A 
SEPARATE HOME OFFICE AND USE IT 
TO MEET CLIENTS, OR WORK FROM 
HOME AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME.
YOUR EMPLOYER ALSO HAS TO 
CERTIFY THAT WORKING FROM HOME 
IS A CONDITION OF YOUR 
EMPLOYMENT.
>> WITH MY LITTLE OFFICE SET UP 
HERE, AND READY TO GO.
>> Reporter: KAREN ATKINSON A 
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER FOR A HOME 
BREWING SUPPLY COMPANY WAS SENT 
HOME TO WORK IN MARCH, BUT SHE 
SAYS HER EMPLOYER WON'T SIGN A 
TAX FORM STATING THAT. 
>> AS FAR AS HE WAS CONCERNED, 
IT WAS NOT A CONDITION OF MY 
EMPLOYMENT THAT I WORK FROM 
HOME.
>> Reporter: SOME IN THE TAX 
BUSINESS WANT TO KNOW IF THE 
CANADA REVENUE AGENCY WILL STILL
REQUIRE EMPLOYERS TO CERTIFY 
WORK FROM HOME DURING THE 
PANDEMIC.
AND THEY'VE ALSO ASKED THE 
C.R.A. TO RECONSIDER THE 50% 
MINIMUM TIME MANDATE, GIVEN SOME
WON'T REACH THAT WHEN 
CALCULATING OVER THE FULL TAX 
YEAR.
>> I WOULD EXPECT IF THE CANADA 
REVENUE AGENCY DOES PROVIDE A 
CONCESSION THAT WE WILL HAVE 
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 
EMPLOYEES ACROSS CANADA MAKING A
CLAIM FOR HOME OFFICE EXPENSES 
WHERE IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES 
THEY WOULD NOT.
>> Reporter: AT THIS POINT, 
THOUGH, BOTH THE C.R.A. AND THE 
FINANCE MINISTRY SAY THEY HAVE 
NO PLANS TO CHANGE THE RULES.
AARON SALTZMAN, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: WELL, IN THE UNITED 
STATES, THE PACE OF NEW 
CORONAVIRUS INFECTIONS CONTINUES
TO SURGE, AS DOES THE NUMBER OF 
DEATHS.
FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT DAY, THE 
VIRUS KILLED MORE THAN A 
THOUSAND PEOPLE ACROSS THAT 
COUNTRY.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CASES HAS 
NOW SURPASSED FOUR MILLION, BUT 
MORE CONCERNING PERHAPS THAN THE
SHEER SIZE OF THAT NUMBER IS HOW
QUICKLY IT'S RISING.
A QUARTER OF THOSE CASES WERE 
DETECTED IN JUST THE PAST 15 
DAYS.
FLORIDA IS ONE OF THE HOT SPOTS.
IT WAS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE THE 
SITE OF THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION NEXT MONTH, BUT AS 
KATIE SIMPSON TELLS US, THE 
PRESIDENT JUST ABANDONED THAT 
PLAN.
>> Reporter: SAYING HE'S TRYING 
TO SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THE 
COUNTRY, THE PRESIDENT IS 
CALLING OFF ONE OF THE BIGGEST 
POLITICAL EVENTS IN ANY ELECTION
YEAR.
>> President Donald Trump: SO I 
TELL MY TEAM IT'S TIME TO CANCEL
THE JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 
COMPONENT OF THE G.O.P. 
CONVENTION.
WE WON'T DO A BIG, CROWDED 
CONVENTION, PER SE.
IT'S JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR
THAT. 
>> Reporter: FLORIDA WAS SET TO 
HOST THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL 
CONVENTION WHERE THOUSANDS HAD 
BEEN EXPECTED TO WATCH DONALD 
TRUMP ACCEPT THE PARTY'S 
NOMINATION, A MOMENT HE WOULD 
USE TO RALLY HIS BASE AMID HIS 
SLUMPING POPULARITY.
BUT WITH ROUGHLY 10,000 COVID 
CASES REPORTED IN THE STATE 
NEARLY EVERY DAY THIS MONTH, 
TRUMP SAYS A BIG GATHERING JUST 
ISN'T SAFE.
>> President Donald Trump: I 
JUST FELT IT WAS WRONG TO HAVE 
PEOPLE GOING TO WHAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A HOTSPOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN , TO HAVE 
PEOPLE GOING TO WHAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A HOTSPOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN STO HAVE
PEOPLE GOING TO WHAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A HOTSPOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN EVETO 
HAVE 
PEOPLE GOING TO WHAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A HOTSPOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN ,
HAVE 
PEOPLE GOING TO WHAT TURNED OUT 
TO BE A HOTSPOT, YOU KNOW, WHEN 
WE CHOSE IT IT WAS NOT AT ALL 
HOT.
IT WAS FREE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
IT HAPPENED QUICKLY.
IT HAPPENS QUICKLY.
IT GOES AWAY, IT GOES AWAY 
QUICKLY. 
>> Reporter: IT IS NOT ACCURATE 
TO SAY COVID GOES AWAY QUICKLY.
CASES ARE EXPLODING IN THE SOUTH
AND WEST, AND THE COUNTRY IS 
STILL EXPERIENCING MAJOR TESTING
DELAYS.
>> WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR NINE 
HOURS.
THESE FINE FOLKS HAVE BEEN HERE 
LONGER. 
>> Reporter: TRUMP'S DECISION 
COMES AFTER HE HELD A 
DISAPPOINTING RALLY IN TULSA 
LAST MONTH.
TURNOUT WAS LOWER THAN EXPECTED,
PHYSICAL DISTANCING RULES WERE 
NOT ENFORCED AND LOCAL HEALTH 
OFFICIALS NOW SAY NEARLY 500 
COVID CASES ARE LIKELY LINKED TO
THAT EVENT.
THE DEMOCRATS ALREADY ANNOUNCED 
THEIR MILWAUKEE CONVENTION WOULD
BE SCALED BACK, AND MOST EVENTS 
WILL BE HELD ONLINE.
>> WE KNOW THAT WE ARE STILL IN 
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE COVID-19 
CRISIS, AND OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE 
OF CAUTION, THE DEMOCRATIC 
NATIONAL COMMITTEE HAS TAKEN 
THESE STEPS. 
>> Reporter: TRUMP HAD VERY 
BADLY WANTED THE CONVENTION TO 
GO AHEAD AS PLANNED.
THE CANCELLATION OF IN-PERSON 
EVENTS LIKE IT IS AN 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A CRISIS AT 
HAND.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS,

TODAY FOR THE FAMILY OF A MAN 
WHO TOOK HIS OWN LIFE AFTER IT 
FAILED TO TAKE HIM IN, SAYING 
BLUNTLY WE FAILED HIM.
HERE'S BONNIE ALLEN ON WHAT 
HAPPENED AND WHAT THE FAMILY 
WANTS NOW.
>> Reporter: 20-YEAR-OLD SAMWEL 
UKO WAS KNOWN FOR HIS BIG SMILE 
AND FAST FEET ON THE FOOTBALL 
FIELD.
>> I NEED HELP, BRO. 
>> Reporter: SO THIS CRY FOR 
HELPS FROM INSIDE A REGINA 
HOSPITAL SURPRISED HIS FRIENDS 
AND FAMILY.
>> I NEED HELP.
>> Reporter: BUT HE DID NOT GET 
IT.
>> FOR THIS I'M DEEPLY SORRY. 
>> Reporter: THE SASKATCHEWAN 
HEALTH AUTHORITY SAYS UKO WAS 
IMPROPERLY DENIED CARE AT THE 
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.
>> AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE FAILED
SAMWEL, NOT BECAUSE OF ONE 
SPECIFIC THING THAT HAPPENED BUT
BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE FACTORS THAT
CONVERGED AND RESULTED IN 
DENYING HIM CARE. 
>> Reporter: UKO'S UNCLE SPEAKS 
FOR THE FAMILY.
HE SAYS UKO WAS VISITING 
RELATIVES IN REGINA WHEN HE 
SUFFERED A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
>> I TELL THEM, I HAVE VOICES IN
MY HEAD, I HEAR VOICES IN MY 
HEAD, PEOPLE COMING AFTER ME. 
>> Reporter: SO EARLY ON MAY 21,
UKO'S COUSIN DROPPED HIM OFF AT 
THE REGINA GENERAL HOSPITAL.
UKO HAD TO GO IN ALONE BECAUSE 
OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS.
LATE MORNING, A DOCTOR WROTE HIM
A PRESCRIPTION AND A REFERRAL, 
THEN RELEASED HIM.
AT 5 P.M. UKO CALLED 911.
A POLICE OFFICER ESCORTED HIM TO
HOSPITAL, BUT THERE WAS A 
DISPUTE OVER HIS NAME, SO 
HOSPITAL SECURITY KICKED HIM 
OUT.
A COUPLE HOURS LATER, HIS BODY 
WAS FOUND IN WASCANA LAKE IN THE
MIDDLE OF REGINA.
>> THE HONEST TRUTH IS WE SPENT 
TOO MUCH TIME TRYING TO OBTAIN 
HIS IDENTITY AND NOT ENOUGH TIME
FOCUSING ON HIS CARE NEEDS.
>> Reporter: A CRITICAL INCIDENT
REVIEW DID NOT FIND ANY DIRECT 
LINK TO RACISM, BUT THE HEALTH 
AUTHORITY CEO CONCEDES RACIAL 
BIAS COULD EXIST IN THE SYSTEM.
UKO'S FAMILY ACCEPTS THE APOLOGY
BUT WANTS SYSTEMIC CHANGE. 
>> WE TOLD THEM WE WILL WORK 
WITH YOU TO MAKE THINGS BETTER 
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANY 
FAMILY, ANYONE TO GO THROUGH 
WHAT OUR FAMILY WENT THROUGH. 
>> Reporter: RECOMMENDATIONS 
INCLUDE IMPROVING ACCESS TO 
EMERGENCY PSYCHIATRIC 
TREATMENTS.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A CORONER'S 
INQUEST INTO SAMWEL UKO'S DEATH.

WHOLE NEW BALL GAME, AND WHAT IT
MEANS FOR THE PLAYERS AND THE

TOP OF MIND FOR THE TORONTO BLUE
JAYS.
THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY IN 
CANADA GIVEN CROSS-BORDER 
COVID-19 CONCERNS, SO THEY'RE 
STILL LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO 
PLAY THEIR HOME GAMES.
TO THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE 
LEAGUE, THOUGH, WHOSE HOMES ARE 
SOUTH OF THE BORDER, BASEBALL'S 
RETURN SERVES AS A HAPPY 
DISTRACTION, THOUGH ONE THAT 
COMES WITH A POLITICAL TWIST.
SALIMAH SHIVJI TAKES US TO THE 
FIELD IN WASHINGTON.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS ARE 
NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!
>> Reporter: WHAT WAS A NORMAL 
CELEBRATION LESS THAN A YEAR AGO
NOW SIMPLY JARRING TO SEE.
THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL.
HAND CROWD CHEERS REPLACING REAL
FANS IN THE STANDS.
NEARLY FOUR MONTHS AFTER THIS 
EXHORTATION FROM THE PRESIDENT. 
>> President Donald Trump: WE 
HAVE TO GET OUR SPORTS BACK.
I'M TIRED OF WATCHING BASEBALL 
GAMES THAT ARE 14 YEARS OLD. 
>> Reporter: AMERICA'S PAST-TIME
IS BACK, TO DONALD TRUMP'S 
DELIGHT. 
>> President Donald Trump: IT'S 
A TREMENDOUS THING
PSYCHOLOGICALLY FOR OUR COUNTRY.
>> Reporter: BUT WHAT A 
DIFFERENCE FOR THE PLAYERS.
NO TOUCHING OR SPITTING.
NO GETTING UP IN THE FACE OF THE
UMPIRE, AND MASKS ALL AROUND.
EVEN WITH COVID-APPROPRIATE 
FANWARE, ACCESS TO THE STADIUM 
IS STRICTLY CONTROLLED.
REPORTERS ARE STUCK OUTSIDE, AND
PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTATORS WILL 
OFTEN BE CALLING THE GAME 
WATCHING ON A SCREEN, JUST LIKE 
THE FANS.
INSTALLING NEW SCREENS ARE ALSO 
PART OF THE ADJUSTMENTS FOR THIS
BAR, STEPS FROM THE STADIUM.
THE NEW RULES ARE CLEAR, 
APPROPRIATE DISTANCING MEASURED 
OUT.
STILL, THE OWNER HAS MIXED 
EMOTIONS.
>> WE TWEETED OUT THIS MORNING 
ALMOST A PLEA FOR PEOPLE TO NOT 
COME.
WE HAVE AN OCCUPANCY OF 335.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SEAT ABOUT 
62, AND SO, YOU KNOW, 
FINANCIALLY IT'S DISASTROUS FOR 
US. 
>> Reporter: EVEN THOUGH AS A 
FAN HE'S HAPPY TO SEE THIS BACK.
>> IT GIVES US SOMETHING TO DO 
OTHER THAN WORRY ALL DAY LONG, 
WHICH IS KIND OF WHERE WE'VE 
BEEN FOR SO MANY MONTHS. 
>> Reporter: EVERY SINGLE PLAYER
ON THE DIAMOND TOOK A KNEE FOR 
THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT.
BUT WORRIES OVER COVID-19 ARE 
CLOUDING THE SEASON'S LATE 
START.
THE NATIONALS RECRUITED THE 
NATION'S TOP HEALTH EXPERT.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI THREW THE 
FIRST PITCH OF THE SEASON, 
SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE.
SOON AFTER GETTING SOME ADVICE 
FROM AN EX-PLAYER WHO'S NOT 
PLAYING BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS. 
-- A NATS PLAYER WHO IS NOT 
PLAYING BECAUSE OF THE VIRUS.
>> I'M QUITE NERVOUS ABOUT IT.
>> OKAY, WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT
IT.
IF YOU BOUNCE IT, THERE'S NOBODY
THERE TO BOO YOU. 
>> Reporter: NOBODY THERE 
WATCHING FOR SOME TIME YET.
SALIMAH SHIVJI, CBC NEWS, 
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: OKAY, WHEN WE COME 
BACK, HOW OLYMPIC ATHLETES ARE 
TRAINING THROUGH A PANDEMIC.
>> I'M GOING TO TETHER OFF AND
DO SOME STATIONARY SWIMMING, SO 
THIS IS HOW I'M TRAINING FOR 
TOKYO IN QUARANTINE.
>> Andrew: WHAT IT'S BEEN LIKE 
TO PUT THOSE OLYMPIC DREAMS ON 
HOLD, AND CANADA'S CHEF DE 
MISSION ON NAVIGATING ALL THE
UNCERTAINTIES AROUND TOKYO 2020.
*
>> Andrew: WELL, THIS WAS NOT 
THE EXTRAVAGANT CEREMONY OLYMPIC
ORGANIZERS HAD BEEN PLANNING FOR
THE 2020 GAMES.
INSTEAD, ONE LONELY LANTERN IN A
DARK AND EMPTY STADIUM MARKED 
ANOTHER YEAR TO GO.
THE GAMES DELAYED, THANKS TO 
COVID.
ONE SINGLE ATHLETE DRESSED IN 
WHITE REPRESENTED HOPE FOR 
TOKYO 2020 PLUS ONE, AS IT'S 
CALLED.
THE OCCASION WAS ALSO MARKED 
WITH SOME OF THE EVENT LOCATIONS
LIT IN OLYMPIC COLOURS.
NOW WITHOUT COVID-19, IMAGES OF 
OLYMPIC HOPEFULS WOULD HAVE BEEN
PLASTERED ACROSS CANADA FOR 
MONTHS.
NOW THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A 
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL RE-SET, NOT 
TO MENTION THE CHALLENGE OF 
TRAINING DURING A PANDEMIC.
DEVIN HEROUX HAS SOME OF THEIR 
STORY.
>> A COUPLE OF MY TEAMMATES AND 
I HAVE TURNED TO BIKING, AND 
HONESTLY, IT'S BEEN PRETTY 
GREAT.
>> Reporter: FINALLY, ABLE TO 
TRAIN AGAIN.
>> HI!
>> Reporter: TRYING TO MAKE THE 
BEST OF WHAT HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT 
OF A NIGHTMARE.
>> THANK YOU, JILL, FOR MAKING 
SURE OUR BOAT IS SUPER CLEAN.
>> Reporter: THINGS LOOK A LOT 
DIFFERENT NOW JUST TO GET ON THE
WATER.
BUT ALL OF THIS A SMALL PRICE 
FOR WHAT THE PAYOFF COULD BE, 
ANOTHER CHANCE TO QUALIFY FOR 
THE OLYMPICS AFTER THE TOKYO 
GAMES BECAME A MOVING TARGET.
>> IT'S VERY SURREAL.
I STARTED SEEING THE WRITING ON 
THE WALL AND IT KIND OF -- 
DREAMS, IT KIND OF HAPPENED SO 
QUICKLY.
>> IN AND OUT OF THE FRONT. 
>> Reporter: FOR ROWERS JENNY 
CASSAN AND JILL MOFFATT, THE 
POSTPONEMENT OF THE GAMES 
CHANGED THEIR LIVES, BUT NOT 
THEIR GOALS.
>> WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT 
THIS, AND I JUST THOUGHT, LIKE, 
I DON'T WANT TO REALLY SIT 
AROUND AND CRY ABOUT IT.
IT DEFINITELY WAS HARD AT FIRST 
TO SWITCH THAT MINDSET.
>> THE CANADIANS HAVE MOVED 
THROUGH INTO THE LEAD.
JILL MOFFATT LOOKING OVER HER 
SHOULDER, JUST MOTIVATING 
HERSELF AT THE END.
>> Reporter: THE PAIR WAS ONE 
RACE AWAY FROM QUALIFYING FOR 
THE GAMES, A SUCCESSFUL YEAR CUT
SHORT.
>> CANADA WILL FINISH SECOND. 
>> Reporter: EVEN NEXT SEASON 
STILL UP IN THE AIR.
>> IT'S A SENSE OF WHEN 
EVERYTHING IS SO UNKNOWN, IT'S 
IMPORTANT TO STAY POSITIVE, AND 
WHETHER OR NOT THE SEASON NEXT 
YEAR IS CONCRETE, IT'S JUST SORT
OF BE, LIKE, YEAH, IT'S 
HAPPENING, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
WORKING TOWARDS. 
>> WE HAVE THE BOATS THAT ARE 
STORED INSIDE WITH A LIMIT OF 
TWO PEOPLE IN THE BOATHOUSE AT 
ONCE.
>> Reporter: NEW CHALLENGES IN 
CLEANING PROTOCOLS THEY'RE 
DETERMINED TO USE THE YEAR AHEAD
TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.
>> ON OLYMPIC DAY YOU WANT TO BE
AS FIT AS YOU'RE EVER GOING TO 
BE IN LIFE.
THAT'S WHAT WE WERE TRAINING OUR
BODIES FOR, RIGHT?
NOW IT'S LIKE I GUESS THAT WAS 
THE BASELINE, SO WE'RE GOING TO 
GO UP FROM THERE.
>> IT IS GREAT, YEAH. 
>> Reporter: FOR MARK SMITH, 
IT'S A SUMMER OF SLOW DRIVES 
WITH HIS WIFE ANN, NO REAL PLACE
TO BE.
A STARK CONTRAST TO THE LIFE HE 
HAD MAPPED OUT.
>> EACH MORNING THAT I WAKE UP, 
I THINK ABOUT WHERE WE WOULD BE 
IF THE SEASON WERE ACTUALLY 
HAPPENING.
TOMORROW WE'D BE TAKING THE BUS 
DOWN TO THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD, HIS FIRST 
SUMMER OFF IN DECADES, A RADICAL
BUT STRATEGIC CHOICE HE MADE FOR
ALL OF HIS ATHLETES AS THE HEAD 
COACH OF CANADA'S WOMEN'S 
SOFTBALL TEAM.
>> AND CANADA WILL WALK THEIR 
WAY OFF TO TOKYO, JAPAN!
>> Reporter: LAST SEASON, THEY 
QUALIFIED FOR THE OLYMPICS, A 
SPORT THAT HADN'T BEEN PART OF 
THE GAMES SINCE 2008.
>> NATIONAL TEAM CANADA!
>> Reporter: AND THEY WERE 
EYEING A GOLDEN PERFORMANCE.
>> WHEN WE DID OUR FITNESS 
TESTING, WE HAD 89 PERSONAL 
BESTS, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO BE 
THE FITTEST SOFTBALL TEAM IN THE
WORLD, BAR NONE, AND THEN THE 
LEGS ARE CUT OUT FROM UNDER YOU.
>> Reporter: TRYING TO KEEP THE 
TEAM TOGETHER IN THE EARLY DAYS 
OF THE PANDEMIC, MARK RAN A 
TRAINING CAMP FOR HIS PLAYERS 
SPREAD ACROSS NORTH AMERICA 
VIRTUALLY.
>> OH, MY GOD, THAT WAS AMAZING.
>> Reporter: BEFORE BREAKING FOR
THE SUMMER THAT WAS MEANT TO BE 
THEIR BIG MOMENT.
>> IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE FOR US
TO GET OUR HEAD AROUND IT AND TO
GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION TO 
GRIEVE AND GO THROUGH THE ROLLER
COASTER OF EMOTIONS YOU FEEL 
WHEN YOU WORKED SO HARD FOR 
SOMETHING AND THEN THROUGH NO 
FAULT OF YOUR OWN IT'S BEEN 
TAKEN FROM YOU. 
>> JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE HOW 
THINGS ARE GOING.
I KNOW WE TALKED A WEEK OR SO 
AGO AND YOU WERE GETTING BACK 
INTO YOUR LIFTING AND GOING TO 
DO SOME THROWING. 
>> SO JUST TRYING TO BE 
STRATEGIC IN THE WAY I GO 
THROUGH MY STRENGTHS. 
>> ONE OF THE THINGS AS COACHES 
WE SPEAK TO ATHLETES ABOUT ALL 
THE TIME IS CONTROLLING THE 
CONTROLLABLES, WHICH MEANS WORRY
ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE IN 
YOUR CONTROL, SUCH
AS YOUR NUTRITION, YOUR REST, 
YOUR STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING 
AND YOUR TECHNICAL SKILLS 
TRAINING, AND I THINK THOSE 
THINGS REINFORCED FOR OUR 
PLAYERS THAT WE'RE ON THE RIGHT 
PATH, WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT 
THINGS.
WE HAVE TO STAY THE COURSE AND 
BE PATIENT.
>> CANADA LEADS.

>> Reporter: IF ANYONE KNOWS 
ABOUT PATIENCE, IT'S BRENT 
HAYDEN.
>> I WAS RETIRED FOR SEVEN 
YEARS, AND THE TIME OFF I WAS 
TAKING IN THE PANDEMIC, THERE 
CAN COME A LOT OF POSITIVES OUT 
OF THAT.
>> BRENT HAYDEN!
>> Reporter: AT 36 YEARS OLD, 
HE'S DONE THIS ALL BEFORE.
>> COMING DOWN NOW, BRENT 
HAYDEN. 
>> Reporter: BRENT HAYDEN 
CAPTURED BRONZE IN 2012, 
RETIRED.
>> THE WALL, BRONZE MEDAL FOR 
BRENT HAYDEN!
>> Reporter: THEN WENT BACK TO 
THE POOL LAST YEAR. 
>> I HAD DONE A LOT OF INNER 
SEARCHING, AND I JUST DETERMINED
THAT DEEP IN MY HEART IT'S 
SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO AND I 
BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE.
>> SO I'M GOING TO TETHER OFF 
AND DO SOME STATIONARY SWIMMING.
SO THIS IS HOW I'M TRAINING FOR 
TOKYO IN QUARANTINE.
>> Reporter: ALREADY ON AN 
UNCONVENTIONAL PATH TO THE 
GAMES, LITTLE DID HE KNOW HE'D 
BE GRANTED AN EXTRA YEAR.
HE TOOK IT IN STRIDE. 
>> IT'S A UNIQUE TIME TO BE AN 
ATHLETE.
HERE WE ARE TRYING TO TRAIN AT 
THE LEVEL THAT WE WANT TO BE 
ABLE TO TRAIN AT IN ORDER TO BE 
THE BEST IN THE WORLD, BUT THERE
ARE JUST SO MANY RESTRICTIONS.
>> SO TRAINING QUARANTINE DAY 
FOUR, AND THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE
EVERY SINGLE MORNING.
SHOW UP AND LINE UP AND THEN GO 
AND GET OUR SYMPTOMS CHECKED.
>> Reporter: IF THERE'S ANYTHING
BRENT HAS LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE
COURSE OF HIS CAREER . . . 
>> WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN LANES. 
>> Reporter: IS THAT AN ATHLETE 
HAS TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO 
GET TO THE WALL FIRST, 
FLEXIBILITY AND IMPROVISATION, 
KEY COMPONENTS TO SUCCESS.
*
ACCEPTING THIS NEW REALITY, PART
OF THE GAME NOW.
>> WHAT WOULD YOUR COMPETITION 
WANT YOU TO DO AND WHAT WOULD 
YOUR COMPETITION TO BE LIKE 
RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S LIKE, OH, 
IT'S THE BIGGEST WAKE-UP CALL 
YOU CAN GET BECAUSE I KNOW MY 
COMPETITION IS LIKE AND THEY 
WOULD BE THRILLED IF WE WERE 
MOPING AROUND. 
>> Reporter: SO INSTEAD THEY 
PUSH IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOSE 
THEY PLAN TO BEAT, WHENEVER THE 
START GUN FINALLY FIRES.
DEVIN HEROUX, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Andrew: A THREE-TIME OLYMPIC 
CHAMPION MARNIE McBEAN WAS 
SUPPOSED TO BE IN TOKYO RIGHT 
NOW.
SHE IS TEAM CANADA'S CHEF DE 
MISSION FOR THE 2020 GAMES.
SHE JOINS US NOW.
HI, MARNIE.
HOW YOU DOING?
>> ANDREW, I'M DOING GREAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Andrew: THANKS FOR BEING 
HERE.
SO LISTEN, FOR SOME OF THE 
ATHLETES, I REALLY GET A SENSE 
THAT THIS IS SO MUCH MORE THAN 
JUST A DELAY FOR THEM, THAT THEY
FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
THAT YOU CAN'T GET BACK, IN A 
WAY.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT?
>> IT IS HEADS AND TAILS.
YOU KNOW, FOR EVERYBODY, THE 
AIR, THE OXYGEN LEFT THE ROOM IN
MARCH WHEN WE -- CANADA SAID 
THEY WEREN'T GOING, WHEN IT 
BECAME AN I.O.C. POSTPONEMENT.
ALL THE CANADIAN ATHLETES 
QUICKLY ABSORBED THE FACT THAT 
THERE WAS A HIGHER CALL OF DUTY 
TO LOWER THE CURVE.
THEN EVENTUALLY WE ALL GET BACK 
TO OUR LIVES AND THEY'RE TRYING 
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAXIMIZE 
THIS SITUATION, HOW TO USE IT TO
THEIR BEST ADVANTAGE WITHOUT 
BURNING THEMSELVES OUT TOO 
EARLY.
LIKE, IT'S -- IT'S A VERY 
COMPLICATED TIME EMOTIONALLY AND
PHYSICALLY FOR OUR ENTIRE TEAM.
>> Andrew: WELL, AND WITH A 
ONE-YEAR DELAY, I MEAN, EVEN THE
QUESTION OF WHICH ATHLETES GET 
TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS, I MEAN, 
THAT IS A COMPLICATED, COMPLEX 
QUESTION, RIGHT?
BECAUSE SOME ATHLETES HAVE 
QUALIFIED, PUNCHED THEIR TICKET,
AND OTHERS ARE STILL FIGHTING TO
EARN THEIR SPOT?
>> DEFINITELY.
THAT WAS SOME OF THE BIG 
CONCERNS AT THE MOMENT.
I THINK THAT WAS WHAT STALLED 
THE I.O.C. FROM ACTUALLY SAYING 
POSTPONEMENT WHEN CANADA JUMPED 
TO IT, IS YOU KNOW SOMETHING 
LIKE 53% OF THE ATHLETES HAD 
QUALIFIED FOR THE OLYMPICS, 
WHICH MEANT 47% WERE JUST 
MOMENTS AWAY, DAYS AWAY FROM 
PUNCHING THEIR TICKET, TO 
KNOWING, TO BE ABLE TO TURN TO 
THEIR FAMILY AND SAY, YES, MOM, 
I DID IT, I'M GOING TO THE 
OLYMPICS, AND SO WHAT WE NEEDED 
TO WAIT FOR WAS ALL THE 
DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL SPORTS 
FEDERATIONS TO COME UP WITH A 
PLAN, AND THEY WERE ALL SITTING 
THERE GOING, WELL, HOW DO WE 
COME UP WITH PLAN WHEN THERE'S 
NO INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS 
GOING ON, NOBODY CAN FLY 
ANYWHERE.
HOW DO YOU GET INTERNATIONAL 
POINTS WHEN YOU CAN'T COMPETE 
AGAINST SOMEBODY?
SO THE SPORTS ARE SLOWLY TRYING 
TO FIGURE OUT PLANS NOW AND 
COMING UP WITH NEW QUALIFICATION
PLANS FOR TOKYO 2020 PLUS ONE, 
BUT IT IS REALLY HARD FOR AN 
ATHLETE, BECAUSE USUALLY THEY 
ARE FOCUSING ALL THEIR TRAINING.
THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TWO 
IMPORTANT DATES.
THE DATE THEY QUALIFY FOR THE 
GAMES AND THE DATE THEY COMPETE 
AT THE GAMES, AND EVERYTHING 
ELSE IS JUST NOISE IN THE 
PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET TO THE 
OLYMPICS.
>> Andrew: WELL, CLEARLY IT IS A
DIFFICULT SITUATION THAT IS 
STILL VERY MUCH UNFOLDING AND SO
I HOPE WE'LL HAVE MANY MORE 
OPPORTUNITIES TO CHAT ABOUT 
THIS.
MARNIE McBEAN, THANKS SO MUCH 
FOR TAKING THE TIME.
>> THANKS.
>> Andrew: STILL AHEAD, NOVA 
SCOTIA LAUNCHES AN INDEPENDENT 
REVIEW INTO THAT PROVINCE'S MASS
SHOOTING.
BUT HEAR WHY FAMILY MEMBERS SAY 
THAT DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
>>> AND LATER, HE WAS THE FIRST 
ONE IN THE I.C.U. AND THE LAST 
ONE OUT.
WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW ABOUT 
THE CORONAVIRUS.
>> Andrew: EVER SINCE 22 PEOPLE 
WERE KILLED IN AN APRIL MASS 
SHOOTING, THEIR LOVED ONES HAVE 
DEMANDED A PUBLIC INQUIRY.
TODAY OTTAWA AND NOVA SCOTIA 
STOPPED SHORT, ANNOUNCING 
INSTEAD AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW.
TOM MURPHY EXPLAINS WHY THAT 
DECISION HAS LEFT FAMILIES 
DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.
>> Reporter: FOR MONTHS, THERE 
HAVE BEEN CALLS FOR A FULL-BLOWN
INQUIRY INTO THE HANDLING OF THE
MASS SHOOTING.
TODAY, THIS. 
>> THE GOVERNMENTS OF CANADA AND
NOVA SCOTIA ARE LAUNCHING A 
JOINT INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE 
APRIL EVENTS. 
>> Reporter: AN INDEPENDENT 
REVIEW, NOT A PUBLIC INQUIRY.
IT MATTERS TO THE FAMILIES OF 
THE VICTIMS WHO FEEL AN INQUIRY 
WOULD GET CLOSER TO THE TRUTH 
ABOUT WHAT WENT WRONG.
>> WE WANT A PUBLIC INQUIRY, AND
WE'RE NOT GIVING UP UNTIL WE GET
ONE, BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO 
HIDE STUFF, AND WE WANT TO KNOW 
WHAT IT IS.
>> WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS HURTING 
US BY NOT GIVING US WHAT WE ASK 
FOR. 
>> Reporter: THEY'RE MAD, AND 
STILL RAW FROM THAT FATEFUL DAY 
IN APRIL WHEN A GUNMAN TRAVELLED
150 KILOMETRES, SHOOTING 22 
PEOPLE DEAD AFTER BRUTALLY 
ASSAULTING HIS OWN COMMON-LAW 
PARTNER.
THE REVIEW WILL LOOK AT THE ROLE
THAT INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE 
PLAYED IN THE LEAD-UP TO THE 
SHOOTING.
THE GUNMAN'S ACCESS TO FIREARMS 
AND THE FAKE POLICE CAR HE WAS 
DRIVING, AND IT WILL EXAMINE THE
POLICE TACTICS AND DECISIONS 
MADE DURING THE SHOOTING.
>> PEOPLE WANTED INDEPENDENCE.
THEY WANTED TRANSPARENCY.
THEY WANTED ACCOUNTABILITY AND 
THEY WANTED IMPARTIALLY.
THOSE ARE THE SAME CORE 
ATTRIBUTES OF AN INQUIRY.
>> Reporter: THIS LEGAL EXPERT 
DISAGREES.
>> THEY'RE GETTING NONE OF THAT.
ALL OF THESE PROCEEDINGS AND THE
EVIDENCE IS GOING TO BE IN 
SECRET, UNLESS IT HAPPENS TO BE 
REVEALED WITHIN THE FINAL 
REPORT.
THERE IS NO POWER TO COMPEL 
PEOPLE TO TESTIFY IN OPEN COURT,
AS IT WERE. 
>> Reporter: SO THE ARGUMENT 
GOES PUBLIC SCRUTINY OF EVIDENCE
ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, WHY POLICE 
DID NOT USE THE PROVINCE'S 
CENTRAL ALERT SYSTEM DURING THE 
SHOOTINGS MAY BE LIMITED AT 
BEST.
THE MINISTERS INSIST A REVIEW IS
THE FASTEST WAY TO GET ANSWERS 
AND RECOMMENDATIONS IMPLEMENTED 
SOONER.
AND SOME OF THE HEARINGS MIGHT 
BE HELD IN PUBLIC.
A FINAL REPORT WILL BE RELEASED 
TO ALL IN AUGUST OF 2021.
TOM MURPHY, CBC NEWS, HALIFAX.
>> Andrew: WELL, AFTER THE 
BREAK, ONE COVID-19 SURVIVOR 
SHARES HIS STORY. 
>> 105 DAYS.
LONG TIME.
>> Andrew: A LOOK AT THE 
UNPRECEDENTED TOLL OF THE VIRUS 
AND HIS LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY.
THAT'S NEXT.U GET YOUR 
PODCASTS. 
>> Andrew: WE WANT TO INTRODUCE 
YOU NOW A A BRITISH COLUMBIAN 
DOCTOR WHO ENDED UP A 
CORONAVIRUS PATIENT, SPENDING 
MORE THAN 100 DAYS IN INTENSIVE 
CARE.
THE FIGHT TOOK A LOT OUT OF HIM,
BUT HE SHARED WHAT VOICE HE HAD 
WITH OUR BRIAR STEWART.
>> Reporter: IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS
SINCE GREG PHILLIPS CAME HOME 
FROM THE HOSPITAL, SEVERAL 
MONTHS SINCE HE WAS FIRST RUSHED
THERE.
>> CONCENTRATE ON SWALLOWING. 
>> Reporter: PHILLIPS, WHO WAS 
59, WAS HIS HOSPITAL'S FIRST 
COVID-19 I.C.U. PATIENT, AND THE
LAST ONE TO LEAVE.
>> 105 DAYS.
>> IT'S A LONG TIME. 
>> LONG TIME. 
>> Reporter: HIS VOCAL CORDS ARE
DAMAGED, HE'S NEARLY 100 POUNDS 
LIGHTER, AND MUCH WEAKER, ALL 
AFTER AN ORDEAL THAT BEGAN BACK 
IN MID MARCH.
PHILLIPS, WHO'S A DOCTOR, 
STARTED NOTICING HIS SYMPTOMS 
AFTER HE AND HIS
HUSBAND, MATT PETTIGREW, 
RETURNED FROM A TRIP TO THE U.S.
>> I STARTED FEELING DIZZY AND 
JUST NOT WELL.
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT 
THAT FROM THAT POINT ONWARD.
>> Reporter: BUT PETTIGREW, WHO 
ALSO HAD COVID-19, REMEMBERS 
EVERY AGONIZING DETAIL.
PHILLIPS WAS PUT ON A 
VENTILATOR.
THE VIRUS AND SUBSEQUENT 
INFECTIONS ATTACKED HIS LUNGS, 
HEART, KIDNEYS AND BRAIN.
THEN HE GOT SEVERE PNEUMONIA.
>> I THOUGHT I WAS SAYING 
GOOD-BYE TO HIM AT THAT POINT.
I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE THE LAST
TIME THAT I SAW HIM ALIVE. 
>> Reporter: HE WAS GIVEN A 
TRACHEOTOMY.
PHILLIPS STARTED TO RALLY, BUT 
PETTIGREW KNEW HE WAS 
STRUGGLING.
>> I COULD SEE THE LOOK IN HIS 
EYES THAT HE WAS DESPERATE AND 
SCARED.
I JUST WANT TO SEE HIM, TO HOLD 
HIM A MOMENT.
>> Reporter: ON DAY 54, HE GOT 
THAT VISIT.
BY DAY 67 HE WAS BREATHING ON 
HIS OWN.
NOT LONG AFTER, HIS SENSE OF 
HUMOUR RETURNED TOO.
>> PROBABLY NOT HUNGRY BUT MORE 
THIRSTY?
YEAH.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE]. 
[LAUGHTER]
>> WHOO!
>> Reporter: IT WAS A 
CELEBRATION WHEN HE LEFT THE 
I.C.U. AND LATER THE HOSPITAL.
>> [INDISCERNIBLE].
[LAUGHTER]
AT HOME, PETTIGREW HAS TRIED TO 
KEEP IT LIGHT, BUT THEY THINK 
TOO MANY ARE STILL 
UNDERESTIMATING COVID-19.
PHILLIPS SAYS OTHERS IN BEING 
PHILLIPS SAYS OTHER THAN BEING 
SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT AND
HAVING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HE 
WAS HEALTHY BEFORE ALL OF THIS. 
>> I WILL HAVE PERMANENT LUNG 
DAMAGE.
OTHER THAN THAT, HOW IT WILL 
AFFECT ME, WE DON'T KNOW YET. 
>> Reporter: WHICH IS WHY HE 
WILL KEEP WORKING TO GET 
STRONGER AND IS URGING OTHERS TO
SEE HOW SERIOUS THIS VIRUS 
REALLY IS.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, 
VANCOUVER.
>> Andrew: WOW.
OKAY, COMING UP, A MI'KMAW 
ARTIST GOT THE NEWS OF A 
LIFETIME, THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT.
SO HE WASN'T ABLE TO SHARE IT. 
>> I GOT THIS NEWS THAT I WANT 
TO TELL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS 
AND MY INNER CIRCLE MORE THAN 
ANYTHING.
THAT WAS JUST ON HOLD.
>> Andrew: BUT NOW HE CAN SHARE.
THAT'S NEXT.
>> Andrew: WELL, THIS IS A 
PAINTING CALLED VETERAN ELDER BY
MI'KMAW ARTIST NELSON WHITE.
BACK IN FEBRUARY HE GOT SOME 
AMAZING NEWS, THE SMITHSONIAN 
WANTED TO BUY IT, BUT THEN THE 
WORLD WENT INTO LOCKDOWN, THE 
FUTURE OF THE DEAL UNCERTAIN, 
BUT NOW EVERYTHING IS FINALIZED 
AND HE IS ABLE TO SHARE HIS 
STORY.
IT IS OUR "MOMENT."
*
>> I KNEW THAT THE SMITHSONIAN 
HAD ACCEPTED THE ARTWORK, AND 
THEY WERE GOING TO INCLUDE IT IN
THEIR COLLECTION.
JUST EVERYTHING STOPPED IN THE 
INTERIM.
THEY WERE TRYING TO EXPAND THEIR
COLLECTION OF EAST COAST 
INDIGENOUS ARTISTS, AS WELL AS 
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR MORE 
THINGS TO DO WITH THE MILITARY 
AND MILITARY SERVICE AND WHERE 
ELLSWORTH OAKLEY WAS ALSO 
AMERICAN, THAT ALSO HELPED.
I THINK IT ALL SORT OF JUST CAME
TOGETHER REALLY WELL IN ONE 
LITTLE PACKAGE.
IT WAS MORE FRUSTRATING BECAUSE 
I HAD THIS NEWS THAT I WANTED TO
TELL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND 
MY INNER CIRCLE MORE THAN 
ANYTHING THAT WAS JUST ON HOLD.
IT'S FLATTERING.
IT'S MORE A LITTLE SURREAL THAT 
IT'S IN THAT PLACE.
I JUST WAS REALLY CONCERNED 
THAT IT HAD A GOOD HOME.
I WANTED THE ARTWORK TO GO 
SOMEWHERE WHERE IT WAS GOING TO 
BE APPRECIATED AND BE SEEN AND 
HAVE A LONG LIFE, AND I COULDN'T
THINK OF A BETTER PLACE FOR THAT
LONG LIFE.
>> Andrew: PRETTY EXCITING 
STUFF.
HERE'S THE THING.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE OR 
WHEN THE PAINTING, YOU KNOW, 
WILL BE PUT ON DISPLAY, BUT OF 
COURSE THAT'S T.B.A., AND SO 
THAT'S EXCITING NEWS TO COME.
IT REALLY GOES TO SHOW YOU, 
EVERYONE'S PUT SOMETHING ON HOLD
DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
SO HERE'S TO HOPING THE 
IMPORTANT STUFF GETS BACK ON 
TRACK.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS 
JULY 23.
HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
