Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole held a press conference Sunday, telling reporters that Canada will not see economic stability until the government has a plan for rapid COVID-19 testing and vaccine rollout to address the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.

“There is no plan for the economy if we don’t have rapid testing and vaccines as swiftly as possible," he said.

O’Toole’s comments came as the federal Liberal government prepares to release a fall economic update on Monday.

“There can't be a full economy, a growing economy, people working, people being productive without the tools to keep that happening in a pandemic,” he said. “Those two tools are rapid tests and a vaccine.”

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland stated last week that the Liberals will deliver a long-awaited update on the health of federal finances on Nov. 30.

“Our plan will continue to support Canadians through the pandemic and ensure that the post-COVID economy is robust, inclusive and sustainable," she said.

The government has not tabled a budget for this fiscal year, but in July delivered what it called a “fiscal snapshot” that estimated the deficit was heading for a record of $343.2 billion.
