Trudeau announced that the federal government is sending $100 million to organizations that feed people who can't afford to feed themselves, such as food banks and the Salvation Army.
He adds that the federal government has partnered with Amazon to use its distribution network to send medical supplies to meet provincial needs.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's confident there will be no disruptions in the supply chain.
Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu says the global market for personal protective equipment is growing more competitive, leading to inflated prices.
She says our country will focus on what is needed, while keeping a close eye on the cost.
Here in Manitoba, the government is calling for the donation of essential medical supplies.
