Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Emergencies Act is a tool the federal government can use to enact measures it would otherwise not be able to enact.
He says the Liberal government is looking at other ways to impose new measures without calling a state of emergency.
Trudeau also says that with three million Canadians living or travelling abroad at any time, it would not be possible to expect that everyone would be able to come home immediately.
Trudeau also says Canada is in a good fiscal position to be able to invest in Canadian individuals and businesses to make sure the country gets through this difficult time and continues to ``prosper and grow'' once this moment is over.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also says he expects to make a major announcement on economic actions tomorrow.
He says the Liberal cabinet is meeting again this afternoon.
Ottawa will have more to say about the upcoming tax season this week.
