Today, Prime Minister Trudeau announced $1.1 billion in additional funding for a national research strategy to combat COVID-19. The strategy will focus on three main pillars: vaccine research, clinical vaccine trials and expanding testing.

Measures Include:

$115 million in additional funding for vaccine research.
$662 million for clinical vaccine trials in Canada.
$350 million to expand national testing and modeling of COVID-19.
Creation of the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, led by Dr. David Naylor, Dr. Catherine Hankins, Dr. Tim Evans, Dr. Theresa Tam, and Dr. Mona Nemer to study issues such as testing, serology, and immunity.
Over 2 years, 1 million Canadians will be tested as part of the Immunity Task Force work.

Protéger votre projet contre les aléas électoraux en 2026

Les élections municipales de 2026 en Ontario se dérouleront sur un terrain connu, mais plus exigeant : le logement, l’abordabilité et les infrastructures locales qui rendent la croissance viable. Les maires, les conseillers et le personnel municipal subissent une pression accrue pour démontrer des progrès concrets, au-delà des simples débats. Pour les promoteurs, les institutions et les grands acteurs qui font avancer des projets à l’échelle municipale, cela signifie une chose : si votre travail est visible, il sera politique.
