Bonjour à tous. Good afternoon everyone. Thank you for joining us. Yesterday, I accepted Bill Morneau's resignation as Minister of Finance. For almost five years, Bill has worked tirelessly on behalf of all Canadians to build a strong, resilient economy that works for everyone. I want to thank Bill for his outstanding service as Minister of Finance and as the Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre. No matter his next steps, I know he will continue to make important contributions to our country in the years to come. Earlier today, I was at Rideau Hall to make a few changes to our Cabinet. Christia Freeland is now Canada's Minister of Finance and will remain Deputy Prime Minister. Dominique Leblanc is the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and continues to serve as the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada.

No matter his next steps, I know he will continue to contribute a lot to our country in the years to come. Earlier today, I was at Rideau Hall to make a few changes to our Cabinet. Christia Freeland is now Canada's Minister of Finance and will remain Deputy Prime Minister. Dominique Leblanc is the new Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and continues to serve as the President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. In the weeks and months to come, their work will be more important than ever because the world is on its way. Canada is on its way. While the economy is slowing down, we see COVID-19 reappear in places like Australia and New Zealand. It's winter now and our work is still to come. We must remain vigilant because we have worked too hard and we have made too much sacrifices to return. Canada is far from being out of the woods. Right now, the world is at a crossroads. Canada is at a crossroads. As economies relaunch, we're seeing COVID-19 reappear in places like Australia and New Zealand. It's there winter right now, but ours is still ahead. We have to be vigilant because we've worked too hard and sacrificed too much to go backwards. The fight is still far from over. Just take the fact that some provinces are seeing new cases after weeks of declining numbers. For parents, especially, this is a big worry in terms of the school year. I hear that and as a dad, I'm concerned about this too. Provincial leaders have a responsibility to make sure that our kids are safe in their classrooms. As federal government, we'll do whatever we can to help, including through our $19 billion safe restart agreement. But of course, it's not just schools that are on people's minds. While many Canadians are back at work, the unemployment rate is still in double digits. It's tough for all Canadians, but we have to remember that it's those who are already struggling who are hardest hit. Women are facing impossible choices between kids and career. Racialized Canadians and Indigenous people are confronting extra barriers. Young people are dealing with unexpected burdens as they worry about their future. It will take time to make up the economic ground we've lost to this pandemic. It will take hard work to fix these gaps. This pandemic has taught us important lessons. It has put an end to the inequalities that still exist and our vulnerabilities as a society. But Canada is not alone. All over the world, a consensus emerges on the fact that the moment has come to reflect in an audacious way and to rebuild even stronger. The advanced economies understand that, with very low interest rates, employment costs are also very low to stimulate the recovery. Governments who, like Canada, have a solid fiscal position must invest to help citizens through this crisis. Our G7 allies, whether it be Germany or the United Kingdom, our partners like the European Union or South Korea, they all seize this moment to act. And we must also seize it. We have a choice to make. We can decide to move forward instead of returning to the status quo. We can choose to embrace bold new solutions to the challenges we face and choose to be held back by old ways of thinking. As much as this pandemic is an unexpected challenge, it is also an unprecedented opportunity. This is our chance to build a more resilient Canada, a Canada that is healthier and safer, greener and more competitive, a Canada that is more welcoming and more fair. This is our moment to change the future for the better. We can't afford to miss it because this window of opportunity won't be open for long. We've supported Canadians with a huge emergency response to make sure that everyone could cope during this time. We've carefully and successfully reopened many parts of the economy. And now, we also need to look to the future. We need long-term solutions that address the shortfalls in healthcare that meant soldiers were caring for seniors. We need good middle-class jobs that can withstand the challenges of tomorrow. We need to get through this pandemic in a way that gives everyone a real and fair chance at success, not just the wealthiest 1%. In other words, we need a long-term plan for recovery, a plan that addresses head-on the fundamental gaps this pandemic has unmasked. In the coming weeks, we will present our plan to rebuild a stronger, more resilient Canada. This will be our roadmap out of the pandemic towards a society that is fairer and more welcoming, towards communities that are better prepared for future crises, and towards a country where everyone is safer and healthier. As our first step to make this plan a reality, we will present a speech from the Throne on Wednesday, September 23rd. This is the same week that the House of Commons was already scheduled to return. The Throne speech will give us the opportunity to lay out in detail our approach going forward. It will also allow Parliament to hold a confidence vote on this new plan. Today, I have asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament, which must happen before any government can present a Throne speech. We will present a speech on Wednesday, September 23rd, the same week that the House of Commons was already scheduled to return. This will give us the opportunity to lay out in detail our approach to the future. It will also allow Parliament to hold a confidence vote on this new plan. I have already asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament, which must happen before any government can present a Throne speech. I want to be clear. Whether you're counting on the SERB or EI while you look for work, or on the wage subsidy to keep employees on the job, these programs will not be affected by the prorogation. In fact, starting a new session of Parliament is about creating sustainable ways to support you moving forward. That has always been our number one focus, and it always will be. Eight months ago, our government presented a plan to face the challenges that are most important in Canada. This plan was designed for a different Canada, with COVID. Since then, our reality has changed just like our approach. Parliament must support a new agenda that will respond to the new world in which we live. Canadians are waiting for what we are working together in times like these. We are ready to do our part to obtain Parliament's support for a more resilient Canada. A plan that allows us to stay vigilant and keep the virus under control. A plan that invests in Canadians. A plan for a better future. We have lots of work ahead of us in the weeks and months to come. And I know that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister LeBlanc, who have taken on new roles today, are the people we need for the job, along with the rest of our extraordinary team and MPs. I'm looking forward to the challenges the coming months will bring.


Today's video is sponsored by Wayfair. It is the morning of the reveal and I am nervous. I am not going to lie you guys, we are adding the finishing touches on this entire home this morning. Adding all of the little accessories, hardware, decorative elements, just trinkets and bits and bobs to make this space really feel like home. And I am so excited to share this space with Jenna and Jerome. This has been such a fun work in progress over the last 10 days with my dad and a couple of my friends. And I really feel like over 10 days we were able to accomplish so much and really give character, interest and personalization to each room throughout the home. And I am so excited to share it with them today. You guys, the couch got here 30 minutes before the reveal. It was lost at the warehouse and they found it. I actually thought I was going to have to go buy a vintage one. Oh no, does she fit? It's on top of the chair. Looks like it fits. Oh my gosh. It looks so good. This living room is everything. Everything! It's so pretty. And then let me just put this back. This back, we have to do a little cleaning. Literally they're coming in 30 minutes, you guys. I'm not, I'm like, this is not a drill or joke. So there's that. Oh my gosh, pillows. I have these ones inside. Okay, we gotta clean. Guys, they are literally outside right now. I'm kind of like shaking actually. I haven't been nervous the entire time until right now. I've never ever revealed a home. I've never been revealed a space to someone that I don't really know. I do know Jen and Jerome now, but previously they were just, you know, subscribers of my channel. And I have learned a lot about them through this home. And I hope that they love this so much. I cannot believe they're out. Also guys, I apologize about my insane hair. I haven't had time to cut it in the past two and a half weeks. So it's flying everywhere in the reveal. I do apologize. Alrighty, let's go get them. But like, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I've never done anything like that. We're definitely going to need to close your eyes for a little reveal moment. Okay. We're walking.

It looks like brand new. I thought you straight up just bought a new one. No. I actually have to... I tried to DIY a bunch to give other people ideas. And they have closet doors like this. Like what they can do with them. Like if it was in good condition, I was like, you know, buy it and make it look better. I mean, it's gorgeous. Thank you. It's so gorgeous. This room is gorgeous. It is so... You broke out your little window. If you can tell... Oh! Remember that little window thing? Look at the window. It's shelving. Yeah. It's such a fun concept there. Because it's so pretty. Your guys room anyways. Yeah. If you really have to go do some business, you can go. Exactly. We have a separate bathroom. Yeah. We concreted the countertops with a tan concrete. Oh my gosh. How did you do that? You just... It's literally you do it with a trowel. But it's so... Oh my gosh. I love it. It's an old couch way through so it looks like one full. Oh my gosh. You can get the sink. I know. I love the hardware. Hardware at the sink. This is so good. It's a tapestry that I was going to hang in your house somewhere. But I couldn't find a spot for it. And underneath it was black leather. So last minute I was like, oh, we're reupholstering the sink. No way. Oh, gorgeous. We did it like an hour before you got here. That's why I was like... Can you wait another hour? Can you wait another hour? I was like coming up with these ideas. Yeah. Oh my gosh. The little light. Hey. It was so pretty. Oh my gosh. I love it. This is crazy. You can get these mirrors. I know. Are they pretty? Wow. Look at this. Oh shoot. You can turn them. Yeah. Oh my god. They match in both. So it's just like a really seamless look. So gorgeous. Yeah. And then we did a trowel bar here that way. Just if. Because it kind of provides a little bit of privacy. Oh my gosh. You're so great. I would never think to do any of this. Can you grab it from either side? Yes. Yeah. It was perfect. Yes. And you can like put your product here that you use or whatever. Yes. Yes. But I'm going to keep it this way. Yeah. It looks great. It's too cute. We don't want to do anything. It's too cute. Oh look at these lights. I know. It doesn't look like an office anymore. Yeah. Isn't it so cool? This is awesome. This is so pretty. And like... Oh wow. I thought that added a little bit of that boho style too. Yeah. Yeah. It's so pretty. Look at the room from here. It's so pretty. I love the nightstand. At first when I painted the room, even the people that are filming this, the camera people, how many times did I say that it was pink? 10 to 15. Every day. I was like it's too pink. But when I started adding the furniture because it was like feeling like bright pink in here. And the color I selected was like a beige tone. And I was like why is it so pinky? And then once I added the furniture I was like it's actually pretty. I love it. Yeah. I was like it's soft. It just feels like a neutral almost. Relaxing to the eye too. Yeah. Exactly. And that backboard right there is so pretty. From Wayfair. Everything.  Even the curtains are amazing. Curtains, lighting, the floor. Oh my gosh. That was the place of this beautiful room. Yes. I love it. That's a statement piece right there. It's actually got pretty glow in the room too. Oh and look. A little dimmer. Oh! It's coming through. Oh my God. We love it. We love it. This is like beyond our expectations honestly. It was so much fun. Like I really, we were all here for like the past 11 days but it was such a good 11 days. So much fun. Oh my gosh.

I'm just literally, I feel like it's a dream right now and it's still so surreal. I haven't really processed it yet, but it's amazing. It's so beautiful. To our new home. No popcorn ceilings. That's the scene for sure. Official. Yeah. It was like a small bar. It wasn't that big handle. All right guys. It is pretty windy outside. I'm about to head home.

If you live in Jerusalem, then I'm guessing that you're very familiar with this sound. It's unnecessary honking, and it's what I like to call the background soundtrack of the city. Today is Yom Kippur when streets around Israel will be empty. And it always makes me wonder, how peaceful would it be if our roads were this quiet for the other 364 days of the year? Many people are unaware that honking a car horn for no reason is illegal and punishable with a fine. Under Israeli road law, horns are only supposed to be used for impending emergencies. The problem is simply that nobody enforces the law. Thankfully cities around the world are waking up to the damaging nature of noise pollution which has been linked to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Even Petah Tifa in Israel is piloting a smart detection system that uses automatic sensors to issue nuisance honkers with fines. If you want to see this issue, get on the urban agenda and receive the attention it deserves, sign the Jerusalem Green Fund petition in the description and join my Facebook group.
