Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been in self-isolation since his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau tested positive for the coronavirus on March 12, 2020, announced $82-billion in financial aid last week for Canadians and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The prime minister has continued to hold daily morning briefings from Rideau Cottage where he lives with his family on the grounds of Rideau Hall. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
