Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is asking Canadians for patience as the Liberal government hammers out the details of the major moves they are making to respond to the global pandemic of COVID-19.
She says officials are doing things that would normally take several months in a matter of days and that they are aiming for speed, rather than perfection.
She says that sometimes means making an announcement about the actions they are taking and then filling in the details after the fact.
Freeland says that is not how they would normally operate, but she hopes Canadians understand the extraordinary situation.
