In a moment, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau will be speaking with @570NEWS. LISTEN LIVE: player.570news.com #cdnpoli

Is COVID zero realistic? Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau says it's something the government is striving for, but will require a lot of heavy lifting from everyone to get there. Says it's a fine goal to have but won't breath a sigh of relief until vaccine available #cdnpoli @570NEWS

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau tells @570NEWS the government is developing a careful vaccine distribution plan. Says priority will be frontline workers and most vulnerable. Says expects small quantities of vaccine in first months of 2021 and more later. #cdnpoli

On #COVID19 spending, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau says "we will do whatever it takes as long as it takes to help Canadians" #cdnpoli

On the possibility of triggering measures under the Emergencies Act during this second wave, Prie Minister @JustinTrudeau says "I don't want to use them and I don't think we'll have to use them" #cdnpoli

Also on the Emergencies Act, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau tells @570NEWS "I don't think the federal government coming in and taking over health systems is going to make things any better" #cdnpoli

When asked why we still don't have unified messaging across the country on #COVID19, Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau says "it doesn't make any sense to have unified messaging." Says what happens in Atlantic Canada is very different than what's happening in Alberta #cdnpol

Says there is a larger unified message from the federal government, but when it comes to whether bars need to be shut down, or there should be restrictions for stores. Those decisions are best made by local and regional governments. #cdnpoli
