Trudeau announces new set of economic measures to stabilize economy, help those affected

Vancouver Police recommend 6 charges against driver involved in collision that killed cabbie Sanehpal Randhawa VANCOUVER Police are recommending several charges against the driver of a car-share vehicle who was involved in a collision that resulted in the death of Yellow Cab driver Sanehpal Randhawa, 29, driving a taxi in late December. However, due to the current medical condition of the driver, it is expected that charges will not be approved at this time, as the driver is unable to participate in resulting court proceedings. Vancouver Police have recommended six charges to Crown counsel related to impaired

However, in recommending charges, we are hoping there will be some sense of closure for the family and friends of the victim.” Police have confirmed that

Justin Trudeau PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday announced a new set of economic measures to help stabilize the economy and help Canadians affected by the impacts of this challenging period. These measures, delivered as part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, will provide up to $27 billion in direct support to Canadian workers and businesses, plus

$55 billion to meet liquidity needs of Canadian businesses and households through tax deferrals to help stabilize the economy. Combined, this $82 billion in support represents more than 3 per cent of Canada’s GDP. This wide-ranging support will help ensure Canadians can pay for rent and groceries, and help businesses continue to pay their

However, investigators will monitor his medical condition and will evaluate the next steps if his condition improves to a point where he is able to participate in the court process. The collision occurred at around 3:30 a.m. on December 29 at the intersection of 1st Avenue and Renfrew Street. It involved a car2go smart car and a taxi. The taxi driver was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries and died a short time later. Two passengers in the taxi were treated for non-life-threatening injuries in hospital, and the suspect was transferred to hospital with serious injuries. The driver was identified as Sanehpal Randhawa by Kulwant Sahota, President of Yellow Cab, who

Sanehpal Randhawa Photo: Facebook told the media that he had been working with the taxi company for the past three years. He had also been attending school. His father had recently visited him from India. He had just bought a new home in Surrey and had planned

to move there in the New Year. According to Randhawa’s Facebook, he studied at Robin Model School in Dhuri in Sangrur district of Punjab. He also studied at Sheridan College in Ontario. Also, the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. in late January announced that it had discontinued its investigation of the Vancouver Police’s involvement in the incident after concluding that that the actions of police did not contribute to the collision. Vancouver Police Department reported that on December 29, just before 3:30 a.m., a Car2Go Smart car made off from a road check being conducted on East Hastings Street near Clark Drive. A short time later the same vehicle was seen by an officer driving at high speed, eastbound along East Hastings Street. The officer completed a U-turn to follow the Smart car, but lost sight of the car and did not re-locate it. Unknown to police at

the time was the fact the Smart car had turned off of Hastings Street onto Renfrew Street, the IIO BC said in a press statement. Approximately 10 minutes later, officers received a report of a collision between a Yellow Cab and the same Smart car at the intersection of 1st Avenue and Renfrew Street. The driver of the taxi did not survive his injuries and the IIO commenced an investigation. The Chief Civilian Director reviewed the information obtained during the IIO investigation, including police records and CCTV footage. While police did attempt to stop the driver at a roadcheck, no further police contact was made, and the evidence determined that the actions of police did not contribute to the collision. Police were not in the vicinity at the time of the collision and only learned of it after other emergency services arrived at the scene, the IIO BC said.

It was a long road, a lot of sacrifices,” said Dhesi, who’s been living and training in Columbus, Ohio. “It means a lot, not just for me but for my family, my community. I’m not done yet; this is just a step.” Jasmit Singh Phulka failed to qualify in his 74 kg category. Steen, of Tecumseh, Ontario, defeated Dominica’s Luis Miguel Perez Sosa by technical superiority 13-2 in the 97 kg semifinal. After going down two early in the match, the 28-year-old used his signature ankle lace attack to storm back to

win. The duo joins Erica Wiebe and Danielle Lappage who qualified for the Tokyo Games on Saturday. The tournament was held without spectators inside the competition venue to reduce the risk of the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Dillon Williams of Toronto made it to the 65 kg semifinal, but lost 10-0 to Alejandro Valdes Tobier of Cuba. There will be a last chance Olympic Qualification Tournament later in the year.

Vancouver Vaisakhi Parade and annual sports tournament cancelled by Khalsa Diwan Society VANCOUVER’S Khalsa Diwan Society (KDS) announced on Monday that it is cancelling its annual Vaisakhi Parade for the first time in its 41 years’ history. In a statement, it said that after taking into consideration the high risk of the spread of COVID-19 in gatherings, the directives it has received from the provincial health ministry and keeping public health and safety in mind, it had decided to cancel both the Vaisakhi Parade – that had been scheduled for April 18 – and the KDS-sponsored Babar Shaheed Memorial annual sports tournament – that had been scheduled for May 1618. This is the first time that the sports event has been cancelled in its 55 years’ history. The Khalsa Diwan Society said: “As both of these events take many hours of planning by the volunteers and the municipal staff, these decisions were very difficult to make. We want to thank all the volunteers, city staff from various departments and Vancouver Coastal Health for their hard work in getting ready for these events.” It added: “All other regular functions will continue to take place at the [Ross Street] Gurdwara. During these functions the guidelines established by

Lucknow, India (IANS): The second confirmed case of COVID-19 has been reported from Lucknow, the capital of India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, east of New Delhi. A 20-year-old man, resident of Indiranagar, was shifted to the isolation ward of the King George’s Medical University (KGMU), on Saturday morning after the lab test confirmed the virus. D. Himanshu, in charge of the Isolation Unit of the KGMU, said that the patient was first admitted to the isolation ward of the Civil Hospital on Friday night after health officials came to know that he came in close contact with the female doctor from Canada, who had tested positive on Wednesday and is undergoing treatment at the KGMU. The 35-year-old woman, a doctor by profession, had come to Lucknow along with her doctor husband from Canada on March 1 and was living at her parents’ house in Gomti Nagar. The authorities had tested her husband as well as eight family members and two others with whom she had been in contact with during the stay. All were found to be negative, but have been advised isolation at home for at least 15 days. Later, 22 others who met the family and couple during this period were also traced and their swab samples were sent for testing. They included the man who has now been tested positive. The remaining 21 have been found to be negative but asked to isolate themselves for at least two weeks. “We will now also test all those who have been in contact with the man,” said Narendra Agarwal, Chief Medical Officer, Lucknow. “Besides, the health department has constituted 150 teams to undertake sanitization, screening and awareness activities in Indira Nagar and Gomti Nagar areas”, said Nodal Officer, Communicable Diseases, Vikasendu Agarwal.

April 25 by Gurdwara Sahib Dasmesh Darbar was cancelled on March 12 “until further notice or a significant change in the transmission of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.”

Karnvir Garcha, 22, charged in 2019 stabbing at Newton banquet hall SURREY RCMP announced on Friday that charges have been laid against Karnvir Garcha, a 22-year-old Surrey resident, in the February 15, 2019 stabbing at a banquet hall in the 8100-block of 128th Street in the Newton area. Police said that following a fulsome investigation by the Surrey RCMP General Investi-

gation Unit, Garcha has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and assault causing bodily harm. Garcha is currently in custody and will appear in court later this month. “We appreciate all who came forward to assist us in this investigation,” said Staff-Sgt. Kirk Duncan. “We all have a

responsibility when it comes to public safety and, in this instance, everyone stepped-up and helped us to bring about a successful conclusion.” On February 15, 2019, at approximately 10 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing at Bollywood Banquet Hall. Investigators located a 20-year-old male

AS a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States and Canada are temporarily restricting all non-essential travel across their borders. The U.S.-Canada land border serves as an economic engine that supports over $2.4 billion dollars in daily trade. “In each of our countries, we are encouraging people to exercise caution by avoiding unnecessary contact with others. This collaborative and reciprocal measure is an extension of that prudent approach,” states a press

statement by the Prim Minister’s Office. “Non-essential” travel includes travel that is considered tourism or recreational in nature. “The United States and Canada recognize it is critical we preserve supply chains between both countries. These supply chains ensure that food, fuel, and life-saving medicines reach people on both sides of the border. Supply chains, including trucking, will not be impacted by this new measure.

Americans and Canadians also cross the land border every day to do essential work or for other urgent or essential reasons, and that travel will not be impacted,” says the statement. This decision will be implemented on Saturday, March 21 at which time the U.S. and Canada will temporarily restrict all non-essential travel across the U.S.-Canada land border. The measure will be in place for 30 days, at which point it will be reviewed by both parties.

Province declares state of emergency to support COVID-19 response THE British Columbia government has declared a provincial state of emergency to support the provincewide response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, made the declaration on Wednesday based on the recommendation from B.C.’s health and emergency management officials, after Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, declared a public health emergency on Tuesday. “Declaring a state of emergency is an important measure to support our provincial health officer and minister of health in swift and powerful response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Farnworth said. “We are working with partners across government and industry to co-ordinate emergency response efforts, and we won’t hesitate to use the tools available to us to keep people safe.” Declaring a state of emergency allows the Province, through the minister, to implement any provincial emergency measures required with access to land and human resource assets that may be necessary to prevent, respond to or alleviate the effects of an emergency. This includes securing the critical supply chains to make sure people have access to essential goods and services, and that infrastructure necessary in a response is readily available. The state of emergency is initially in effect for 14 days, once issued, and may be extended or rescinded as necessary. The state of emergency applies to the whole province and allows federal, provincial and local resources to be delivered in a co-ordinated effort. As House Leader, Farnworth is also working to resume the legislature to complete urgent government business to expedite government’s response to COVID-19. “We are all working together and introducing these powers to protect our people, our health system and our economy,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “These are temporary measures that will help us immensely in the long term. I encourage British Columbians to respect the situation as it stands and remember that each of us has an individual responsibility and civic duty to look out for

BC declares public health emergency for even faster response to rapidly changing situation

B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry has declared a public health emergency. This is an additional step to ensure the province has more tools available to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. This declaration enables the provincial health officer to facilitate an even faster response to the rapidly changing situation and enact further measures to protect British Columbians, such as enforcement of orders limiting public gatherings of 50 people or more. Health Minister Adrian Dix and Henry said businesses with liquor primary licences, such as bars, pubs and night clubs, must close

as they are unable to adequately meet the requirements of social distancing. Restaurants and cafes that cannot maintain social distancing of one to two meters between patrons will need to move to take-out and delivery models. Dix and Henry said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also remind British Columbians that public gatherings of more than 50 people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indoors or outdoors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; must be cancelled.â&#x20AC;? They also noted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the second time the provincial health officer has served notice under the Public Health Act to exercise emergency powers. The first declaration was in 2016, in response to the overdose crisis.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to remind people that tests are available for all those who need them, but not everyone requires a test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To further support people who are wondering if they should be tested, a new self-assessment tool is now available. Before calling 811, we recommend completing the self-assessment at: http://covid-19.bccdc.ca/ â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to remind people to please use hand hygiene, maintain social or physical distancing, and to stay at home if you are sick or at high risk for serious illness. That includes the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sufficient physical distanc-

ing of one to two meters should be incorporated for workers and customers for businesses and services that will remain open to provide transportation, keep our communities safe and provide essential goods and services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who have recently travelled outside of Canada and are currently self-isolating for 14 days: leaving your home, hotel or a similar place should only be done for essential errands, such as obtaining medication or food, and with a mask or tissues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a time to support our friends, family and communities. Purchasing groceries for those isolating or

donating blood to support our health-care system are some of the ways you can help. Canada Blood Services has added additional screening measures for increased vigilance to enable the continued supply

of blood products for surgery, cancer treatments and emergencies.â&#x20AC;? For more details and links, visit our website voiceonline.com

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to donate blood during COVID-19; critical for patients: Canadian Blood Services

CANADIAN Blood Services says it is concerned by a recent spike in appointment cancellations in several cities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the organization responsible for the national blood system outside Quebec, it says it is determined to keep its promise to help every patient, match every

need and serve every Canadian. To do that it requires the ongoing generosity and commitment of donors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patients depend on these lifesaving donations,â&#x20AC;? says

CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT

Dr. Isra Levy, Canadian Blood Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vice President of medical affairs and innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day they are needed for patients undergoing surgery and cancer treatment, as well as to save lives following traumas such as motor vehicle accidents.â&#x20AC;? Canadian Blood Services operates a national blood inventory where products are regularly shifted around the country to meet hospital and patient needs. The inventory is currently strong, but the recent increase in cancellations is worrying, particularly in light of the blood shortages already being reported in other countries affected by COVID-19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donating blood in Canada continues to be safe.

Our robust cleaning and infection-control practices protect all donors, staff and volunteers. All prospective donors are also carefully screened for any symptoms of illness, including very mild ones. This screening occurs during both appointment booking and upon arrival at the donor centre or event. Those with any symptoms are not allowed to donate blood and are instructed not to visit,â&#x20AC;? says the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our donor centres are islands of wellness within Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health system,â&#x20AC;? says Levy, a public health expert and a former medical officer of health for the city of Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are not places where sick people gather.â&#x20AC;? The organization urges all

healthy eligible donors to book and keep appointments. The need is constant for blood, stem cells, plasma and organ and tissue donors. Canadian Blood Services adheres to the latest guidance from the Public Health Agency of Canada including all recommendations for public gatherings during COVID-19. Should the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations change we will act immediately to keep donors safe. More information on COVID-19 is available at blood. ca/covid19.

College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. warns of “inappropriate, potentially harmful” info on COVID-19 SURREY Councillor Allison Patton, a registered naturopath, is once again facing an investigation by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. after advertising vitamins, booster shots and intravenous therapy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on her Facebook last weekend. These included an “Immune Supportive Vitamin Boost” for $99 and a $325 “HiDose Ozone/UVBI IV” treatment, in which blood is drawn, injected with ozone and exposed to UV light before being transfused back into the body, according to a CBC report. The College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. issued a public notice on its website stating that it has become aware that “some registrants are promoting treatment or supplements as a means to boost the immune system and may imply that this

will prevent infection from COVID-19.” It added: “Any statements by naturopathic doctors about the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19, beyond the information made available by the public health authorities, are inappropriate, potentially harmful, and likely to violate the CNPBC’s Advertising Policy and/or Immunization Standard. When brought to the attention of the CNPBC, such statements will be forwarded to the Inquiry Committee for Investigation.” The College said that its Advertising Policy and Immunization Standard “prohibit marketing and/or advertising that is false, inaccurate, reasonably capable of misleading the public, unverifiable, or contrary to the public interest in the practice of the profession.”

Patton claims that her Facebook post was in response to encouragement from her patients. She told the CBC: “Overnight upon further consideration, in advance of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C.’s recommendations and support to naturopathic doctors, based on the current environment I felt it was best to remove the information and I promptly did. Patton was reprimanded, given a three-day suspension from practising naturopathic medicine and fined $500 last month by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia for using “the title Physician, Doctor and Dr. without denoting she is a naturopathic doctor.” Allison Patton

THE Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) is warning investors about companies claiming to have products or services that will prevent, detect or cure coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. Fraudsters take advantage of global events and breaking news to lure potential investors with the expectations of significant returns. A common way they do this is through pump-and-dump schemes involving publicly traded small “shell” companies. What Canadians need to know about pump-and-dump schemes: * These fraudulent penny stock companies may have limited or untrue publicly available information about the management team, their products or services, and their finances. * Fraudsters spread positive, but false, information that lures investors to purchase the stock. The false information may spread, for example, through hyped-up news releases, social media or paid promotional campaigns through other individuals, companies or websites. The more investors that purchase the stock, the more inflated or “pumped up” the price of the stock becomes. * Fraudsters then quickly “dump” their stock before the hype ends, resulting in a substantial payout for them. The stock price then drops and the remaining investors lose their money. At this time, there is no vaccine or any natural health product that is authorized to treat or protect against COVID-19. Be cautious of any claims that a company has a solution to help stop the coronavirus outbreak. Reliable information relating to COVID-19 is available from the World Health Organization and the Government of Canada. When investing in any company, carefully research the investment and keep in mind that fraudsters often exploit the latest crisis. If you believe that you or someone you know has been offered a fraudulent opportunity related to the coronavirus, please contact your provincial or territorial securities regulator. The CSA is also aware of instances where Canadians are targeted by scam artists using fear around the current economic conditions to attempt to steal the investor’s money. Investors contacted by anyone with warnings about their investments or finances should never give out any personal information, and contact their investment adviser or bank separately after independently verifying the phone number to ensure the caller is legitimate. The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.

City of Vancouver shuts down all restaurant table service, closes playgrounds, creates dedicated COVID-19 task force THE City of Vancouver is issuing an order to shut down all restaurant table service as of midnight on Friday, March 20. Only takeout or delivery will be allowed, and any establishment found to be operating table service as of 12:01 a.m. on Saturday will be subject to enforcement. All bars have already been closed as per the Provincial government order, province-wide. Effective immediately, the Vancouver Park Board will be closing its playgrounds across the city in an effort to minimize public gatherings and the potential of risk to the community. “I know that closing all food and beverage to everything but

takeout or delivery will mean serious hardship for many people, workers and business owners, but we are acting now with one goal keeping people safe.” said Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart. “This new reality we are all experiencing will have significant economic impacts. That is why we are also looking at all options to provide immediate and medium-term local response and government advocacy. To all businesses and workers in Vancouver, we hear you and we will do everything we can to support you.” In response to the COVID-19 emergency within our community, the City of Vancouver

ON March 19, Emergency Management BC (BC Provincial Government) approved Delta Mayor George V. Harvie’s request to declare a Local State of Emergency in

has also created a dedicated COVID-19 task force. The task force is being led by Vancouver Fire Chief Darrell Reid who will report directly to City Manager Sadhu Johnston. To ensure that daily Vancouver Fire and Rescue operations continue, Kiran Marohn, who is currently Deputy Fire Chief, is being appointed as Acting Fire Chief. The City of Vancouver officially declared a local State of Emergency as a result of COVID-19 on March 19. The declaration of a State of Emergency allows City staff to take additional measures to ensure the City of Vancouver has the resources needed to

Kennedy Stewart maintain essential services and meet the demands of other agencies, including Vancouver Coastal Health. “Our teams have been doing phenomenal work to com-

bat COVID-19 and protect the people of the City of Vancouver,” said City Manager Sadhu Johnston. “These extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Under Chief Reid’s leadership, the Covid-19 Task Force will coordinate all aspects of Covid-19 mitigation, response and recovery for the City of Vancouver. This gives us the capability to respond as rapidly as possible to this evolving situation. We continue to evaluate our services, with focus on maintaining essential services such as police, fire, waste and sanitation, water, and community services for vulnerable people, and in the coming days we will

be further scaling back on nonessential services,” Johnston added. All closures and service delivery information can be found on the City’s web site at vancouver.ca/covid19. The City noted: “We appreciate there is a lot of information circulating at this time, and not all of it is coming from verified sources. All updates from the City of Vancouver will be noted within our news releases, on our website and our verified social feeds. Residents are encouraged to follow @ CityofVancouver on Twitter to receive the latest updates on COVID-19 response.”

Surrey RCMP, Surrey Fire taking proactive steps to ensure safety won’t be compromised: McCallum

SURREY Mayor Doug McCallum said on Thursday that Surrey RCMP and Surrey Fire are taking proactive steps to ensure that the safety of Surrey residents will not be compromised during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said: “Frontline policing is the top priority with resources shifted to ensure for response to Priority 1 emergency and 911 calls, managing prolific offenders in the community, maintaining a highly visible police presence in the city and protecting Surrey’s most vulnerable with RCMP and Mental Health Outreach Team operating at full capacity. “Surrey Fire Service is, currently, at normal service levels and all Surrey Fire Halls are at full operational strength to respond to emergency and 911 calls. Surrey Fire has contingency plans in place to ensure maximum response capability is maintained.” McCallum pointed out that the impact COVID-19 is having on our everyday life is unprecedented, adding: “All of us are adjusting to new measures and approaches in how we go about our daily lives and how we interact with one another. With this in mind, I want to assure our citizens that the core services and operations that the City of Surrey provides are being maintained for the well-being and safety of our community with measures put in place to keep our staff and frontline responders safe.” McCallum said: “While we are doing everything to ensure for a smooth continuation, I would ask the people of Surrey for their patience given the fast-changing nature of events.” The mayor said that starting Monday, March 23, all city run day camps will be shut down. Also, starting Monday, the two daycares located at civic facilities will be shut down to the public in order to prioritize space

for health workers, first responders and essential service workers. McCallum said: “As part of the City’s COVID-19 pandemic response, modifications have been made to our customer service counters at City Hall such as the requirement to use to use hand sanitizer stations upon entry and exit from City Hall. To protect our staff, as of yesterday afternoon, the City has begun implementing remote work options that ensure employee safety while maintaining full continuity in City operations. “I want to stress that while you may see a change in how business is conducted at City Hall, the business of the City has not stopped. “For example, the Planning and Development Department are prioritizing permit applications to expedite issuance for simple permits. Remote inspections have been expanded to enhance social isolation opportunities while keeping projects going. “As of tomorrow, a call centre to direct planning, development and building inquiries and to make appointments that would normally take place at City Hall will be in operation, so our clients will not have to come to City Hall. The phone number for the planning, development and building call centre inquiries is 604 591 4086. “Ensuring that business continues is vital in the days ahead, that’s why the City has approved infrastructure construction to proceed for the Anniedale Tynehead NCP. This new infrastructure represents $35M dollars worth of construction and the project itself will bring more housing choices to Surrey. The funds for the infrastructure have been paid by the developer. “City staff have also been taking stock of large format industrial space that could potentially be used to set up temporary hospitals, or as space for production lines

to manufacture essential medical equipment, or for warehousing of essential resources. “There have also been a lot of questions regarding property taxes. We are actively working with the Province on what can be done on this front and we will update you as soon as we can. “As we all know now, events are changing everyday, and I can assure you that the City of Surrey will adapt accordingly. “While our recreational facilities are closed during this time, we have begun to put up videos of classes that you can do at home. We just launched the videos last night and we are continually adding to it, which includes resources from our libraries, museums, and galleries. I want to thank our Parks, Recreation and Culture staff for the great and quick work they are doing on this front. “In the meantime, I continue our residents to enjoy our outdoor spaces including our parks, playgrounds, and beaches. Get out in the fresh air but do so by being mindful of social distancing. Use your judgement, Surrey is a big city, there are many outdoor spaces you can make use of while keeping social distancing intact.” McCallum said: “I am proud of our residents for their calm and resolve during this time. We will get through this because

we are all in this together. “We should also take a moment to thank the people who are working on our behalf during this time. From health care staff and front-line emergency responders, to the grocery clerk and transit operators, everyone who is going to work to keep us safe, our kitchen pantries full, I want to thank you. I also want to encourage everyone to take a moment and send a message of thanks and support for their efforts they are doing on our behalf.”

Assistant Commissioner Edwards on Surrey RCMP’s response to COVID-19 ‘For those that believe this may be an opportunity to take advantage of others or commit offences, think again’ SURREY RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards on Wednesday issued the following statement on his police force’s response to COVID-19: DURING the COVID-19 pandemic, the Surrey RCMP is taking proactive steps to ensure that the safety of Surrey residents will not be compromised, should illness occur within our detachment. We have also implemented a number of measures to protect the health of our police officers, support staff, volunteers and Auxiliaries. I want to assure citizens that we have several layers to our business continuity plans and multiple tiers of resources that we can redirect to frontline policing. We have limited our community

SURREY RCMP have executed three search warrants for residences that have led to seizures of drugs and firearms. On March 12, Surrey RCMP Drugs Unit, with the assistance of the Surrey Gang Enforcement Team, Community Response Unit, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, and Criminal Investiga-

outreach programs and cancelled our annual Open House, which was scheduled for May 9th, so we can focus on the task at hand. These are only two examples of many, but, rest assured, given this degree of contingency planning, you will continue to see police officers on patrol and responding to calls for service within the community. If you call, we will respond. After several weeks of pre-planning I directed a COVID-19 Response Team to be stood up within the Surrey RCMP detachment on March 12th. The primary responsibility of this team is the maintenance of core policing in the City of Surrey during this pandemic. This team is fully staffed with police officers and municipal support staff who are monitoring police operations

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards Photo by JAY SHARMA of Mahi Photo Studio on a real-time basis to ensure we maintain full frontline operational response capabilities.

For those that believe this may be an opportunity to take advantage of others or commit offences, think again. The Surrey RCMP is served by an extremely dedicated group of people who seek to give their absolute best to this community, every day. This latest challenge makes that only more clear to me – every one of my employees has stepped forward to support, protect and serve this community with distinction. Apprehending those taking advantage of this situation sits squarely in line with our core values of service to this community. I want to assure Surrey citizens that our dedicated team of police officers and employees will continue to meet the public safety needs of our residents, without hesitation.

Surrey RCMP seize drugs, firearms from residences tive Services, searched three residences in relation to ongoing investigations into drug trafficking. Two associated residences were searched, one in the 16300-block of 28th Avenue in South Surrey, and the second in the 7000-block of 131st Street in Newton. Four suspects were identified and released pend-

ing further investigation. During the search of these residences, investigators seized: • $8,000 CAD • 12-gauge shotgun with ammunition • Tactical vests • Suspected Fentanyl, heroin, crack cocaine, Oxycontin, and methamphetamines • Various cutting agents

• A money counter • Packaging material, believed to be for street sale of drugs • Multiple cell phones On the same day, investigators searched a third residence in the 12500-block of Pinewood Crescent as a part of an ongoing project targeting drug trafficking and property crime in the Whalley / City Centre area. Six further suspects were identified and released pending further investigation. During this search, investigators seized: • Three firearms with ammunition • Suspected methamphetamines and Fentanyl • Soft body armour • Approximately $3,000 CAD “The illicit drug trade brings with it the possibility of violent acts within our community,” said Staff-Sgt. Glenn Atkins. “We acknowledge the invaluable role that information received from the public played in enabling these seizures, and encourage everyone to keep

on reporting suspicious activity in their neighbourhood as

we all have our responsibility when it comes to safety.”

Trudeau announces Canada’s Plan to Mobilize Industry to fight COVID-19

PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced Canada’s Plan to Mobilize Industry to fight COVID-19, which will create pathways to deploy resources to domestic manufacturers and businesses so they can help during this critical time. The plan introduces new measures to directly support these businesses to rapidly scale up production or re-tool their manufacturing lines to develop products made in Canada that will help in the fight against COVID-19. These products could include critical health and safety supplies and equipment, including personal protective equipment, sanitization products, diagnostic and testing products, and disease tracking technology. The Plan builds on the Government of Canada’s more than $1 billion COVID-19 Response Fund and the support that has been provided to the health care system since the beginning of the outbreak. It focuses on domestic capacity building, innovative solutions, and procurement of essential supplies. It will: * Build the industrial capability needed to man-

ufacture critical supplies at scale in Canada. This will be done either by re-tooling the manufacturing lines of existing Canadian businesses or rapidly scaling up the production of others that already produce these products. * Refocus Canada’s existing industrial and innovation programs, by adding to their mandate a requirement that they prioritize the fight against COVID-19. This includes: - the Strategic Innovation Fund to deliver direct support to Canadian companies for large-scale projects - National Research Council of Canada to expedite research and development with small and medium-sized enterprises - Innovation Superclusters to tap into a national network of 1,800 members, and Innovative Solutions Canada to help companies commercialize products more quickly * Deliver direct support to key Canadian companies that are working on large-scale and later-stage research and development projects aimed, in the immediate term, at producing countermeasures to COVID-19. * Challenge innovative companies to develop research-based solutions, technologies, and products that can address a variety of COVID-19 issues. * Source equipment needed to support Canada’s response to COVID-19 here in Canada. The Government of Canada will use existing supply arrangements and innovative, flexible procurement approaches. It is also reaching out to suppliers to identify and purchase equipment, supplies, and services needed for Canada’s response to COVID-19. With a view to longerterm support, the Government of Canada will ensure procurement flexibility to support innovation and build domestic manufacturing capacity to supply critical health supplies to Canadians. These measures are part of a larger strategy the Government of Canada is implementing to protect Canadians and prevent the spread of the virus. This strategy prioritizes the health and safety of Canadians, ensures the capacity of the health care system, and mitigates the economic impacts on Canadians and Canadian business. Trudeau said: “From the very beginning of this outbreak, our priority has been the safety and health of all Canadians. We’re partnering with Canadian industry and business so we can act fast to ensure our health care providers have the products and supplies they need to help Canadians. Together, we are mobilizing all of Canada to fight the spread of the virus.” Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, added: “I have heard from many companies that are already feeling impacts of this pandemic. Our government is acting quickly to ensure that we are using every possible tool in our toolbox to fight for the health and economic well-being of Canadians and their companies. The initiatives announced today will help strengthen our country’s response to COVID-19 while laying the foundation to protect Canadians into the future.” Quick Facts * On March 11, the Government of Canada announced a more than $1 billion package to help minimize the health, economic, and social impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, which includes $50 million to help ensure adequate supplies of personal protective equipment for provinces and territories, as well as to address federal needs. * The Strategic Innovation Fund will allow for rapid support to Canadian companies that are working on large-scale and later-stage promising research and development projects aimed at providing medical countermeasures to COVID-19, including vaccines and critical medical supplies. * The National Research Council of Canada will organize a COVID-19 Challenge Program, composed of teams of government, academic and private sector partners to address a range of medium term needs of the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada. These include personal protective equipment, sanitization products, diagnostic and testing products, therapeutics, and disease tracking technology.

Choosing sources of info carefully is critical to COVID-19 mental well-being: Mental Health Commission IN the midst of COVID-19, it is increasingly difficult to avoid the bleak headlines and bright-red news banners. Staying informed is, after all, one way many of us try to win back a semblance of control. But while it’s natural to seek information about this unfolding public health crisis, we must also take steps to protect our mental health. With guidance from Dr. Keith Dobson, clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Calgary, the Mental Health Commission of Canada has compiled the following tips to help Canadians protect their mental health as they strive to safeguard their physical well-being and that of their loved ones. 1. Understand the fight-or-flight response It’s normal to feel anxious in the face of a threat. Our body’s fight-or-flight response is designed to keep us safe by heightening our response to perceived danger. Part of that response is the release of stress hormones, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, and overall alertness. The brain is continuously seeking new informational cues to re-assess the threat level. Unfortunately, if we bombard ourselves with COVID-19 details, headlines, and images, we reinforce the threat signal and perpetuate the stress response. Remember, the information we allow in will affect how we feel - and we should monitor that intake with care. Because of the impact stress has on our body’s immune system, managing it during a pandemic is critical to the success of strategies designed to reduce contagion or the severity of the illness. 2. Be selective about news sources Where we seek information matters! Credible sources, such as the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization give us plain facts to counteract the sensationalism and fear-provoking imagery found in the news media. Updates from neighbours or other kinds of hearsay are more likely to include selective attention to fearful cases and stories. Carefully choosing our sources is the best way to ensure accuracy. While there is plenty of fact-based content on social media, because of the way it works it is also much more likely to turn hearsay into misinformation. The facts - as fluid as they may be - are essential to facing the situation appropriately. 3. Consider the practical value of the information

Not all information is created equal. When we see images of workers in hazmat suits, empty streets, and armed guards, our brains detect a threat and react accordingly. Unfortunately, these images don’t have a lot of value, as they convey very little meaningful or useful information. Where possible, focus on the facts in the story, not the extraneous details or peripheral images. 4. Don’t discount the power of language When the media reports that rates of infection are “skyrocketing,” for example, it can trigger more anxious feelings than if they’d said “increasing.” Although it may be difficult, it’s important to see through the sensationalistic language and focus on the message and the practical takeaways. If a particular news source uses a lot of alarmist language, consider avoiding that outlet altogether. 5. Set boundaries on news consumption With such a rapidly evolving situation, it can feel like even a few hours without an update will leave us in the dark. But while the information about COVID-19 is constant, it

and three designated times per day. In the interim, make a concentrated effort to place your attention elsewhere. When it’s time to re-engage, it won’t take long to catch up.

Help Surrey RCMP identify this sexual assault suspect SURREY RCMP are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a sexual assault suspect from an incident in the Guildford area. On December 13, 2019, police responded to a report of an attempted sexual assault outside of Guildford Library, during which a man attempted to give an unsolicited kiss to a woman. The victim was not harmed during the incident. Investigators have now been provided CCTV footage of the suspect and are looking to identify the man. The suspect is described as a 35-40-year-old white man, slim build, and 5’8”-5’10” tall. He was last seen wearing a red/green toque and a grey jacket with yellow stripes down the sleeves. Investigators believe that this man may be homeless (see photo). Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or, if you wish to make an anonymous report, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

SURREY RCMP announced on Tuesday that in order to ensure the continuing safety of their essential services staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, they will be temporarily closing two of their six front counter locations, effective at 5 p.m. on March 17. Cpl. El Sturko said: “We have taken the measure of closing these particular front counters because they do not have a glass barrier at the service counter to protect the health of both our staff and the public. Police response in all areas will not be impacted and routine police operations will continue within these facilities. At this time, our front counters remain open at our City Centre, Guildford, Newton, and Main Detachment locations.” She added: “The COVID-19 pandemic has generated the need for extraordinary consideration of the health and safety of Surrey residents and of our police officers, employees, volunteers and Auxiliaries. We appreciate the understanding of the public as we make these changes which will help to ensure we are able to continue to meet the public safety needs of the community throughout the on-going pandemic.’

Recent surge in robberies linked to the LetGo app

A recent surge in personal robberies linked to the popular buy / sell app Letgo has Surrey RCMP issuing a reminder to the public about safety concerns posed by meeting unknown persons, even in public spaces. The Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit has noted an increase in the number of personal robberies perpetrated during meet-ups related to buying or selling high valued items advertised on the LetGo app. With the two most recent incidents having taken place over this past weekend on March 14 and 15. In all of the recent occurrences people were robbed of their cash or high valued items, and assaulted or threatened during the incidents. “Surrey RCMP would like all residents to be aware of the risk associated to using online

marketplace apps, which facilitate the necessity to meet unknown people to complete transactions,” said Constable Richard Wright, on Wednesday. “There is a risk to meeting up with people you do not know, particularly when arranging the exchange of high valued items or cash.” Surrey RCMP is providing some personal safety tips that may be helpful when arranging meetings with unknown online parties to buy or sell items: * Insist on a commercial public meeting place, such as local businesses with regular foot traffic * Confirm cell phone numbers before meeting – don’t only communicate through the app * Do not meet in a secluded place or invite

strangers into your home * Only meet during daylight hours or in a well-lit and heavily populated area * Be especially careful when buying or selling high value items * Tell a friend or family member where you’re going and when you’re meeting the buyer / seller * Take your cell phone and a friend along to accompany you * Always trust your instincts while arranging a meeting Anyone with more information about any of the recent ‘LetGo robberies’ is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca.

Background: – On September 30, 2019, Surrey RCMP first warned the public about four separate robberies that had been linked to offenders using the LetGo app to take money or highvalue property from legitimate buyers and sellers – On February 4, 2020, Surrey RCMP informed the public of an arrest in relation to a series of robberies that had been linked to one offender that was using the LetGo app to target legitimate buyers and sellers – On February 17, 2020, Surrey RCMP arrested several individuals and recovered a large cache of stolen property, some of which was identified as ‘for sale’ on the LetGo app

ICBC suspends all driver road tests; takes more precautionary measures IN response to the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia, ICBC is taking a number of measures to protect the health and safety of its customers, partners and employees. These measures include suspending all driver road tests effective March 17 in line with public health recommendations around social distancing. All motorcycle, passenger, and commercial road tests are cancelled until further notice. ICBC will reassess the situation in two weeks, taking into account public health recommendations and other operational considerations at that time. All impacted customers scheduled to take road tests over the next week are being notified by ICBC that their appointment has been cancelled. ICBC will do its best to accommodate those impacted in rescheduling once ICBC returns to full operations. ICBC undertakes approximately 7,500 road tests a week across the province. The tests, in most cases, involve ICBC driver examiners conducting a driving examination in an individual’s vehicle, in addition to some interaction at the Driver Licensing Office front counter. The cancellation of all road tests for the next two weeks impacts approximately 15,000 road tests. Customers with scheduled road tests are encouraged to visit icbc.com for more information or to call 1-800-950-1498. Other precautionary measures ICBC is taking to ensure the health and safety of its customers and staff include: At all ICBC offices: * Continuing to direct any customers who are sick or have travelled outside Canada (in the last 14 days) not to enter any of our offices, and turning away customers if needed * Requesting people to pay traffic tickets or other fines via phone or mail, not in person * Limiting the number of customers in office waiting areas * Increasing cleaning and sanitization in all our facilities and offices At Driver Licensing Offices: * Asking COVID-19 screening questions At claims centres: * Restricting appointments and drop-in visits to urgent transactions only At head office: * Suspending walk-in service for vehicle insurance customers ICBC continues to review its operations as the situation evolves to support the safety of our customers and employees, including reviewing of opportunities in which brokers can issue and renew insurance policies over the phone. More information will be provided on any changes to

its operations as soon as possible. ICBC says it is committed to following the recommendations from federal and provincial

public health agencies in consultation with government. Please visit the BC Centre for Disease Control website (bccdc.ca) for more informa-

tion on COVID-19 including preventative measures and when to seek medical attention.

Nirbhaya case: 4 convicts hanged in Tihar Jail New Delhi (IANS): More than seven years after committing the gruesome crime, the four men convicted for the brutal gang-rape and murder of a physiotherapy student in the national capital were hanged in Tihar Jail in the early hours of Friday. The four convicts — Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur, Mukesh Singh and Pawan Gupta — have finally paid the price for the heinous crime they committed in December 2012. With the execution of the convicts, the curtain has finally been brought down on the case which dragged on for several years. Over the years, the convicts adopted several manoeuvres to delay the hanging and even succeeded thrice. This time, however, they could not escape the clutches of the judiciary and were hanged till death. The case pertained to the gruesome gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl by six men

in a moving bus on the fateful night of December 16, 2012. The girl, who was later dubbed as Nirbhaya, and her male friend were assaulted and thrown on the road. The attackers inserted a rod into her vagina and ripped her intestines apart. The injuries were so brutal that she succumbed to them 13 days later. The gruesome crime shook the conscience of the nation and led to countrywide protests and a change in the country’s rape laws. All the men, including the prime accused and a minor, were nabbed within a few days of the incident. The prime accused, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in the Tihar Jail days after the trial began. The juvenile, who was said to be the most brutal of the attackers, was put in a correctional home for three years and later released.

Asha Devi The remaining four men were convicted for the crime on September 13, 2013, and were hanged on Friday in South Asia’s largest prison complex. With this, Nirbhaya finally got justice. AS news of the hanging of her daughter’s four rapists flashed on the TV screen, Asha Devi heaved a sigh of relief, hugged her loved ones, held back her tears and with a voice heavy with emotion said that the sun will rise on Friday with new

hopes for daughters of India. Nirbhaya’s mother and father have been fighting an ending legal battle to see their end for seven long years. Speaking to IANS, Asha Devi said, “Justice has been delivered today. Four convicts have been hanged till death. Today’s rising sun is dedicated to the daughters of this country. “Not only Nirbhaya, but the entire country that was shaken to its core on that December 16 night in 2012, was delivered justice.” She has waited with baited breath to see the day when finally her daughter’s rapists would be hanged, and Asha Devi could not contain her satisfaction when the confirmation of hanging of four convicts in the gang rape and murder case came in a little after 5.35 a.m. on Friday. A little after 6 a.m. the doctor confirmed that her daughter’s attackers were

dead. Speaking to the throng of media personnel waiting outside her residence, Nirbhaya’s mother Asha Devi said that her faith in the judiciary had been vindicated. A visibly relieved Asha Devi said that the hangings of the four convicts would send a strong signal for deterrence. “Our fight for security of daughters across the country will continue” she said. “I returned from the Supreme Court, hugged my daughter’s photograph and told her: ‘Today, justice has been delivered’.” “I dedicate this day — March 20 to all the women in the country because #Nirbhaya got justice, today,” she said. She said: “Proud to be known as Nirbhaya’s mother. She fought so hard. And I have waited long to see this day. The flaw in our justice system were exposed. But finally all four were hanged in one go. A first of its kind of justice, which will defi-

nitely be a lesson to others.” “Will continue this struggle for other daughters in the country,” she said and remembered all the unfulfilled dreams of her child, whom she could not save. Nirbhaya’s father too expressed satisfaction at the turn of events, which have been escaping from their grasp for — justice have been slipping through their fingers as the convicts had made every last ditch attempt to escape the gallows. “I’m happy and the entire community is happy, the country is happy toady as justice has been delivered,” said the father and expressed his gratitude to all — media, Nirbhaya’s friends, people who have fought long and hard alongside his wife and him, the protesters who took out candle marches. He thanked all for making it happen.

How BJP orchestrated the fall of 15-month-old Kamal Nath government 6 MLAs to Bhopal. The drama started when 10 disenchanted MLAs of Congress and its allies reached a hotel in Haryana and contacted the BJP leadership apparently to topple the Kamal Nath government in MP. In the meantime, four disgruntled MLAs were flown to Bengaluru. Two of them, Congress MLA Bisahulal Singh and an Independent Surendra Singh Shera were cajoled and brought back to Bhopal. Bisahulal Singh flew back to Bengaluru and was staying there with the rebels. After this unsuccessful bid, sources said the BJP central leadership took the operation in its hand suspecting that there was a black sheep in the flock in the state leadership.

Thereafter the BJP cast its net on Jyotiraditya Scindia, then Congress general secretary who was not getting along well with Nath and Digvijaya. His 19 loyalist legislators went incommunicado on March 9. By evening they landed up at a resort in Bengaluru. These MLAs were airlifted to Delhi by charted planes. They were joined in by three other disgruntled MLAs. These MLAs, according to reports, thought that they had come to Bengaluru as a part of strategy to exert pressure on the Congress leadership to offer Scindia a berth in the Upper House. Scindia resigned on March 10. When according to sources, he told his MLAs that he was joining BJP, many legislators were averse to his plan.

However, he placated them and joined the BJP the next day. The 22 MLAs emailed their resignation which was accepted to two phases including last night, reducing the Congress government to a minority. The Congress had hoped the Supreme Court would see through the BJP’s game plan on March 19 and ensure the 22 rebels were made accountable to the Speaker. This did not happen. Even then the Congress was suggesting it would pull it off at the last minute. However, with the Speaker accepting the resignations of the MLAs after the Supreme Court order for a floor test on Friday, sealed the government’s fate.

Bhopal (IANS): The 18-day political drama allegedly directed by the BJP which ended on Friday with the fall of 15-month-old Congress government was action packed with many twists and turns. Though the BJP kept vehemently denying the charge, its pervasive presence in everyday developments left no one in doubt about its role. On March 2, veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh had flagged the press in New Delhi saying the BJP was making an attempt to buy some MLAs to dethrone the Congress government in MP. On March 3, Digvijaya Singh, his son Jaivardhan and MP Ministers Jitu Patwari and Tarun Bhanot rushed to Haryana and were able to bring back

Canada teeters on the brink of recession THE Conference Board of Canada on Tuesday released its Canadian Outlook Executive Summary – Spring 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Canadian economic growth was already on precarious footing. The added shock of COVID-19, the rail blockades and a collapse in oil prices is putting the country on the brink of recession. As the economy is hit by the slew of additional shocks, the CBC expects business investment and exports to post substantial declines and consumer spending to ease. As a result, economic growth will contract by a projected 2.7 per cent in the second quarter. Overall, the CBC expects growth of just 0.3 per cent in 2020 followed by a rebound to 2.5 per cent growth in 2021. “Despite the fact that the global economy is currently shaken at its core, we expect to see growth resume in the third quarter, meaning that the economy will avoid a technical recession,” said Matthew Stewart, Director Economic Forecasting at the Conference Board of Canada. “However, due to the unpredictability of the coronavirus, there are still huge downside risks to the outlook.” The Canadian Outlook Executive Summary examines the short-term economic outlook for Canada—all major components including consumer expenditures, housing, government, nonenergy business investment and trade. The outlook for the financial, labour and energy markets is also given along with costs and prices.

Key findings: * The Canadian economy is reeling as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic ravage consumer and business spending and cratering oil prices have put a halt to the expected rebound in the energy sector. * The economy came to a near-halt at the end of last year. Growth has not been much better in the first quarter and is set to contract in the second. Overall, we expect real GDP to expand by just 0.3 per cent this year before bouncing back with 2.5 per cent growth next year. * Exports and non-residential business investment are expected to fall this year. * The Bank of Canada has responded to the deteriorating economic outlook in an unprecedented way. In a period of just over one week, the Bank slashed its overnight rate by 100 basis points. * Lower interest rates will throw more fuel onto the fire that is Canada’s housing market, leading to a strong increase in resale home prices and residential investment this year. * Encouragingly, given the historically tight labour markets and the short-term nature of the economic shocks, businesses are expected to retain workers as much as they can, and employment should recover along with the economy.

Petition to pause rent, mortgage payments due to COVID-19 signed by 74,000 VANCOUVER: A petition calling for rent and mortgage payment relief for Canadians struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic has been signed by tens of thousands of people. The Change.org petition argues the federal government should step in and help renters and homeowners suffering from the pandemicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing impact on the economy. Some employees have already been laid off, while others face the possibility of being asked to stay home for weeks without pay from their employer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cancelling rent and mortgage payments for the duration of the Covid-19 virus pandemic would relieve financial pressure, allow citizens to stay home from work without the added concern of losing their housing,â&#x20AC;? the petition reads. As of noon on Monday, more than 74,000 people had signed their name to the document. Over the weekend, the B.C. Government Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union issued a similar call, arguing that rent and mortgage relief would â&#x20AC;&#x153;make sure working people can afford to do the right thing. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said it will support lenders in letting people affected by COVID-19 defer their mortgage payments for up to six months,

but CEO Evan Siddall told CTV News there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently any similar plans for renters. LandlordBC, which represents about 3,300 owners and managers of rental properties in the province, said no one should have to worry about losing their home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and argued itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialâ&#x20AC;? for the government to provide financial support to renters impacted by the virus. But CEO David Hutniak argued simply suspending rent would be the wrong approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our thoughts go out to the people who have been and will be affected by this unprecedented event,â&#x20AC;? Hutniak told CTV News in an emailed statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, it is generally not understood that a significant majority of landlords in B.C. are small business people, mom and pop operators, with a few rental units. The suggestion that rents should be suspended fails to recognize the significant risks and costs associated with the provision of rental housing in B.C., and the extreme financial consequences these landlords would endure if that were to happen.â&#x20AC;? There are already some measures in place intended to help people through the pandemic, including employment insurance sickness benefits. The federal government has also waived the one-week waiting period for EI for people who are in quarantine.

HONESTY â&#x20AC;˘

EI sickness benefits cover people for up to 15 weeks, but only those who have accumulated 600 â&#x20AC;&#x153;insured work hoursâ&#x20AC;? in the year

India forms COVID-19 economic response task force

New Delhi (IANS): In an unprecedented lockdown for COVID-19, India on Wednesday notified cancellation of all nonofficial visas to curb incoming traffic and advised against all nonessential travel abroad which also curbs outgoing travel. The restrictions come on a day when the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared coronavirus as a pandemic. It has already spread to over 100 countries, many of which are seeing travel restrictions. Italy, for instance is under complete lockdown. The new norms for travel will have serious repercussions for the economy, aviation, travel, hospitality, consumer sentiment, exports and services sectors among other sectors and business is likely to take a back seat as precautions take centre-stage. In another drastic measure, the Indian government has decided that all states and union territories should be advised to invoke provisions of Section 2 of

Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 which was enacted in the British era to enforce all advisories. All States/UTs should be advised by Union Health Ministry to invoke provisions of Section 2 of Epidemic Disease Act, 1897 so that all advisories being issued from time to time by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare/State/UTs are enforceable. Stepping up the border control measures as COVID-19 cases are going up, India on Wednesday cancelled all visas except few official categories till April 15. Even

outgoing travel is being cautioned against and a minimum of 14 days quarantine will be subjected. An official statement said that all existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/International Organizations, employment, project visas, stand suspended till April 15. This will come into effect from 1200 GMT on March 13 at the port of departure. The visa free travel facility granted to OCI [Overseas Citizen of India] card holders is kept in abeyance till April 15. Any foreign national who intends to travel to

India for compelling reason may contact the nearest Indian Mission. This would essentially curb the inflow of foreign nationals in the country with visa controls. All incoming travellers, including Indian nationals, arriving from or having visited China, Italy, Iran, South Korea, France, Spain and Germany after February 15 will be quarantined for a minimum period of 14 days. All these measures are applicable from March 13. Incoming travellers, including Indian nationals, are advised to avoid non-essential travel and are informed that they can be quarantined for a minimum of 14 days on their arrival in India. Indian nationals are strongly advised to avoid all non-essential travel abroad. On their return, they can be subjected to quarantine for a minimum of 14 days. International traffic through land borders will be restricted to designated check posts with robust screening facilities. These will be notified separately by Ministry of Home Affairs.

New Delhi (IANS): With the government regularly issuing new travel advisories or updating the existing ones in line with the evolving situation caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the country, international travellers have been left a confused lot. An update of essential information, applicable from March 18, for Indians planning to return home or going abroad includes the following terms and conditions:

No airline will bring any passenger from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK effective March 18. No airline will bring any passenger from

the Philippines, Malaysia and Afghanistan effective March 17. Similarly, there will be no transit for Indians through these countries as no aircraft will allow passengers to board for India in these countries. All passengers coming from/ transiting through UAE, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait after 1200 GMT on March 18 will be quarantined. Those who have visited China, South Korea, Iran, Italy, Spain, France and Germany on or after February 15 will be quarantined.

COVID-19 negative certificate is mandatory for Indians who are coming from South Korea or Italy. Passengers from Italy shall not be allowed effective 1200 GMT on March 18. Indians transiting through China, South Korea, Iran, Italy, Spain, France and Germany will be quarantined on arrival in India. Indians transiting through UAE, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait will also be quarantined on arrival in India with effect from 1200 GMT on March 18.

India suspends landing of all international flights from Sunday New Delhi (IANS): Amid the growing number of positive COVID-19 cases in the country, the government on Thursday said that no international flight will be allowed to land in India from March 22 for one week. It also asked the state governments to issue appropriate directions to all citizens above 65 years of age to remain at home. The government said in a statement, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No scheduled international commercial passenger aircraft shall be allowed to land in India

from March 22 for one week.â&#x20AC;? The steps came after India recorded 173 active COVID-19 cases till 5 p.m. on Thursday, including 25 foreign national, as per the data provided by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Four people have succumbed to the dreaded virus so far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one each in Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka and Punjab. The statement further said that the state governments will issue appropriate directions so

that all citizens above 65 years of age (other than for medical assistance), except for public representative, government servants and medical professionals, are advised to remain at home. The government also said that all children below 10 years of age should be advised to stay at home and not venture out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Railways and civil aviation authorities shall suspend all concessional travel, except for students, patients and disabled persons,â&#x20AC;? it

said. The government further said that the states are being requested to enforce work from home for private sector employees except those working in emergency or essential services. The government also said that all Group B and Group C Central government employees will be asked to attend office on alternate weeks besides suggesting staggered timings for all the employees.

Will explain everything about accepting Rajya Sabha offer: Gogoi Guwahati/Agartala (IANS): Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, who was on Monday nominated to the Rajya Sabha by President Ram Nath Kovind, said on Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;his presence in the Parliament would be an opportunity to underscore the viewpoint of the judiciary before the legislature and viceversaâ&#x20AC;?. Gogoi, who retired in November last year after presiding over the Supreme Court for around 13 months, told the media in Guwahati: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably I would go to Delhi tomorrow (Wednesday). Let me first take oath (in the Rajya Sabha), after that I would speak in detail why I accepted this offer.â&#x20AC;? A resident of Guwahatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zoo Narengi Road, Gogoi said during his brief interaction with the media at his residence: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I (have) accepted it (the offer to be a member of the Upper House)

since I am confident that the legislature and the judiciary must at some point of time work together for nation-building. My presence in the Parliament would be an opportunity to underline the views of the judiciary before the lawmakers and viceversa.â&#x20AC;? Gogoi, who headed the five-judge bench which delivered a landmark judgement in the 70-year-old Ayodhya title dispute case before he retired from the office of the Chief Justice of India (CJI), was among the four sitting top court judges who had held a first-of-its-kind press conference in January 2018 when Dipak Misra was the CJI. These judges, then in office, had alleged â&#x20AC;&#x153;selective assignment of cases to preferred judgesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;sensitive cases were being allotted to junior judgesâ&#x20AC;? by Justice Dipak Misra.

Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) separately reacted to the nomination of Gogoi as a Rajya Sabha member. Citing news reports, Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala questioned the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justice Lokur rightly summarises it... â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Has the last bastion fallenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did Prime Minister Modi consider the advice of his former colleague and ex-Law Minister

and Finance Minister, Late Sh. Arun Jaitley before recommending ex-CJI Ranjan Gogoi to the Rajya Sabham,â&#x20AC;? Surjewala tweeted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recent development taking place involving the highest judiciary and the senior judicial officials is very unfortunate. We have to wait for a certain period of time to see when he (Gogoi) becomes a (Central) minister. The people of India are now expressing their doubts over the judgements passed by the courts. His (Gogoiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) acts were condemned across the nation,â&#x20AC;? CPI-M politburo member and former Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said in Agartala on Tuesday. Gogoi became a judge in the Gauhati High Court in 2001 before being transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2010. He was appointed Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court in 2011 before being elevated to the Supreme Court on April 23, 2012. He was appointed the 46th Chief Justice of India on October 3, 2018.

Nirbhaya convicts to be hanged as High Court rejects plea New Delhi (IANS): The Delhi High Court on Thursday upheld the death warrants issued by a lower court scheduling the hanging of the four death row convicts in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case at 5.30 a.m. on Friday. Dismissing the plea filed by the convicts through advocate A.P. Singh, a division bench of Justices Manmohan and Sanjiv Narula said: “Writ petition bereft of merits, dismissed.” During the course of hearing, Singh argued that a number of petitions have been filed by the convicts and are pending as of date. He further submitted that if the death warrant is executed, the said proceedings including the divorce petition filed by the wife of Akshay, one of the four convicts, as well as the pe-

The convicts. tition filed by another convict, Pawan Gupta before the National Human Right Commission and his criminal complaint will remain

pending. The advocate also argued that journalist Ajit Anjum had revealed that Nirbhaya’s friend, and the case’s

47 cases filed, 66 held for attacking police in Delhi New Delhi (IANS): The Rajya Sabha on Wednesday was told that 47 cases were registered till February 29 by the Delhi Police regarding attacks on the police personnel in the national capital with 66 people arrested. Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs G. Kishan Reddy told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that in 2017, 230 cases were registered by the Delhi Police regarding the attack on police personnel in Delhi, 435 persons were arrested that year. “In 2018, 220 cases were

NEW

registered while 451 people were arrested regarding the attack on police personnel in Delhi,” Reddy said. Last year, while 203 cases were registered in this regard, 446 people were arrested. This year, up to February 29, there have been 47 cases and 66 people were arrested regarding the attack on police personnel in Delhi. “In order to avoid these types of unhealthy trends, directions have been issued by the Delhi Police to their personnel to make sincere efforts to sort out grievances

amicably and to avoid provocation in any form,” the Rajya Sabha was told. On November 5, 2019, the national capital witnessed an unprecedented protest by the Delhi police personnel, who took the streets and sat in front of the police headquarters here with placards to seek action against those who attacked the police officers. The protest came after there were clashes between lawyers and police, with the security forces saying they were attacked by the lawyers.

star witness had taken a lot of money to frame the accused. He also cited a Tihar jail official’s book “Black Warrant” to claim there has

been miscarriage of justice in regards to his clients. Singh also argued that Pawan Gupta was a juvenile, citing the school leaving certificate. Senior standing counsel Rahul Mehra, appearing for the Delhi Police, argued that the plea of juvenility has been rejected by the trial court, the HC and the SC. Mehra also contends that the allegation of one of the appellants sustaining injury during his stay in the jail has been rejected by the SC by the order dated March 19, 2020. He also contended that the statement of journalist or the former jail official cannot be considered in the present petition as firstly, no such foundation has been made in the petition. Shams Khwaja, another

counsel for the convicts, argued that the President has acted with prejudice as he has publicly stated his sentiments on death row convicts of sexual assault. While passing the order, the court observed that as far as plea of juvenility dismissed by the three convicts, it can’t be raised at this stage. The case pertains to gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old girl, later dubbed as Nirbhaya, in the national capital in 2012. Six people, including the four convicts and a juvenile, were named accused in the case. Ram Singh, the sixth accused, allegedly committed suicide in Tihar Jail days after the trial began. The juvenile was released in 2015 after three years in a correctional home.

Modi hails AIIMS doctor, Odisha CM in fight against COVID-19 New Delhi (IANS): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took to Twitter to praise an AIIMS [All India Institute of Medical Sciences] doctor who posted a picture of himself with a message urging people to stay at home amid the COVID-19 outbreak. “Well said, Doctor! Also a shout-out to all those working to make our planet safer and healthier. No words will ever do justice to their exceptional efforts.” The picture of AIIMS doctor went viral on social media where he was seen holding a placard saying, “I stayed at work for you. You stay at home for us”. The Prime Minister also replied to some

other tweets. However, one of the most prominent was his reply to a tweet of Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

I appeal all of you to also register details about your family members and friends coming from abroad. This will help protect Odisha from CoronaVirus.” To which PM Modi replied, “Setting a great example, Chief Minister!” “I hope others also emulate Naveen Babu. We all can do our bit in preventing the spread of COVID-19,” he added.

Even I don’t have birth certificate: Amarinder Chandigarh (IANS): Terming the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) as absurd and unconstitutional, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said on Thursday that half of Punjab, including himself, will not be able to produce birth certificates to prove their ‘Indianness’. Pointing out that most people in Punjab came from Pakistan, Amarinder Singh asked if the Centre expected them to go

to Pakistan to look for proof of birth. “Even I don’t have a birth certificate. These things did not exist when I was born,” said the Chief Minister, adding that this would make him a ‘doubtful character’ under the government of India’s new census system. Making it clear that his government was totally opposed to these exercises, Amarinder Singh said that while a routine census would be conducted in Punjab, it

would not be based on religion, caste and creed. Asking what the BJP-led Central government was trying to prove with these laws, he took strong exception to former Army officials being declared non-Indians after fighting for the nation. For 72 years, India has been a diverse country with different religions, castes and creeds living together in the true spirit of the Constitution and its Preamble, the

Chief Minister pointed out. “Suddenly they want to break and fragment this nation, which is totally unacceptable,” he said at a conclave here. The reaction of the people, especially the youth, clearly showed that this will not work in this country, Amarinder Singh said, adding that the government of India could not possibly put everyone in a box and take them back more than seven decades.

Punjab to shut public bus service from Saturday midnight

Chandigarh (IANS): As a preventive step to counter the growing coronavirus outbreak in the region, the Punjab government on Thursday decided to discontinue public transport buses in the state from Saturday midnight. Accordingly, buses, autorickshaws and tempos will not be allowed to ply in the state from the midnight of

Saturday. The decision was taken by a group of ministers who met here on Thursday to review the state’s preparedness to counter the coronavirus pandemic. It also decided to limit public gatherings to 20 people. The state has reported two positive coronavirus cases so far. One person, with travel history to Ger-

many and Italy, had died on Wednesday and test reports on Thursday confirmed that the deceased was infected by the dreaded virus. The other positive case has been admitted to a hospital in Amritsar. The state’s capital, Chandigarh, also reported its first positive case late on Wednesday night.

I’m still quite young, says Amarinder Singh on contesting polls Chandigarh (IANS): Setting at rest all speculations, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday made it clear he would definitely contest the next Assembly elections in the state. “I’m still quite young. Do you think I’m too old to fight the polls?” he quipped in a lighter vein, in response to a question during the press conference to mark the third anniversary of his government here. Asked about the current role and status of party MLA Navjot Sidhu, Amarinder Singh said the former minister was still a part of the Congress and of the team and “we will consider his wishes” in taking any decision. The Chief Minister said he had known Sidhu since he was two years old and had no personal issues with him. To a question about Sidhu meeting the central

party leadership on Punjab issues instead of taking it up with the state leadership, Amarinder Singh said he was welcome to discuss any issue with anyone in the party. Describing the Madhya Pradesh developments as their internal issue, Amarinder Singh said it was for the Congress national leadership to comment on the matter and his purview was confined to Punjab. Dismissing the power subsidy being given by the AAP government in Delhi as a drama by Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister said there was no comparison between Punjab and the national capital as the latter had no farmers or police to take care of. Kejriwal had reduced domestic tariff through cross subsidy, he said, pointing out that the state government was already giving much higher subsidy than Delhi.

NIA files charges against 9 in Punjab arms drop case

Chandigarh (IANS): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed charges against nine alleged terrorists of the proscribed Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) in a case of dropping of arms and ammunition in Punjab through drones. The charges were filed in the special NIA court in Mohali, said an NIA spokesperson, here on Wednesday. The nine KZF members are Akashdeep Singh (21), Balwant Singh (48), Romandeep Singh (20) -- all residents of Tarn

Chandigarh (IANS): Ridiculing the Akali Chief for his “atrocious lies” that reflected his frustration, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said Sukhbir Badal had clearly lost all sense of proportion in his desperation to get back into the political limelight. “The whole of Punjab knows what kind of a man the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief is and the people of the state have

Taran in Punjab -- Harbhajan Singh (65), Balbir Singh (70), Gurdev Singh (40) -residents of Hoshiarpur -- Maan Singh (43), Shubhdeep Singh (21) and Sajanpreet Singh (22) -- residents of Amritsar. They have been charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the Explosives Substances Act. In September 2019, arms, ammunition, explosives, communication devices and fake Indian currency were dropped in Chola

Sahib through unmanned aerial vehicles that originated from Pakistan. A case was registered by state special operation cell in Amritsar that Pakistan-based KZF chief Ranjeet Singh aka Neeta in connivance with Gurmeet Singh aka Bagga had smuggled in the consignment. Bagga, a key KZF operative, was based in Hamburg, Germany. The NIA later took over the case as it was considered “to cause loss of life and property of citizens as well as to threaten the

security of India.” Investigation revealed that Akashdeep Singh was recruited in the KZF by Maan Singh and Gurdev Singh. The conspiracy was hatched in the Amritsar Central Jail in 2018-19 when all three were in the judicial custody. The drones made eight sorties on five days in August and September to drop the consignment received by Akashdeep Singh, Subhdeep Singh, Sajanpreet Singh and Romandeep Singh.

Sukhbir’s tirade shows sense of despair: Amarinder Singh

categorically rejected him and his party - a humiliation that his inflated ego cannot swallow,” said the Chief Minister, adding that Sukhbir’s latest tirade against the Congress government showed the deep sense of despair he was suffering from. With his desperate attempts to deflect public attention from the Bargari and other sacrilege cases having fallen flat, Sukhbir was clearly

grappling with the harsh reality that his crimes were now catching up with him, said Amarinder Singh, adding that the bundle of lies he had come out with reflected Badal junior’s worst fears. Sukhbir’s senseless and unfounded accusations against the Congress in the Bargari case, in particular, showed that he knew he and his party colleagues were well and truly cor-

nered, and would not be able to escape justice for long, he added. “Has Sukhbir forgotten that it was he and his family who were at the helm of the government when religious texts were being burnt and torn in Punjab? Has he forgotten that he was the Home Minister of the state when innocent people were fired upon in Behbal Kalan and Kotkapura?” asked the Chief Minister.

Even if he wants to conveniently ignore these hard facts, the people of Punjab have neither forgotten nor forgiven him or his party for what happened under the nose of the SAD-BJP government, Amarinder Singh said in a statement. The Chief Minister said the fact that Sukhbir had chosen to unleash his viciously false propaganda against the government just a day after the latter had come

out with its checklist of successes of the past three years showed the extent of the Akali leader’s insecurity. Sukhbir knows he and his party have no political existence or standing in the state now, he said, adding that while the Akali Chief had always been a master of deceit, he had now hit a new low in the face of imminent action in the sacrilege cases

Don’t let coronavirus ruin your credit BY JEET SINGH NEEDLESS to say that the first thing is your and your family’s health. We are lucky to be living in the age of digital communication. There have been times in the past when millions of human lives and entire cities were wiped out because of a virus. There were no ways of warning even the next village. We will conquer this virus, too. But the coronavirus (COVID-19) will have side-effects. You have to plan for those side-effects now. A stitch in times saves nine. Here I am going to talk only about one of the side-effects of this virus. It’s ef-

fect on your credit. I am thinking for all those who may not realize how this virus can negatively affect one’s credit. This coronavirus will have disastrous after-effects for many. It can lead to a recession. Stocks have already tumbled big time. Some small businesses may not be able to survive. But most importantly, people who live from pay-cheque to pay-cheque may get affected negatively and may not be able to recover for quite some time. Please don’t ignore your payment obligation. Don’t think that the lenders, especially credit card companies, will understand. They will not. Rich people do not and need not understand

your pain. If you think you are going to miss a payment, call your credit card company right away and follow it up with an email and tell them to send you an email confirming the agreement you reached with them. If your credit score goes down or your credit gets ruined, you will be paying high-interest rates for the next seven years and may not be able to get a bank loan at all. No one will be interested in listening to stories. So, plan now. If you are a homeowner, think about debt-consolidation. Not only pay off your 22% high-interest rate credit

cards, lower your interest rate, make just one payment instead of ten payments but also free up your credit cards for emergencies. If you are a homeowner, feel free to call me or your mortgage broker for advice and help. Just because of the coronavirus, I can help you with a small second or a third mortgage and try to keep your cost way down. Protect your credit. Good credit is power.

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 4MATIC Affalterbach-Germany: The range of compact 35-series entry-level models from the world of Mercedes-AMG is now complete. The five member family that extends from the A-Class hatch and sedan, CLA Coupe, and seven seater GLB, has grown to include the GLA 35 4MATIC.Exceptional driving dynamics are ensured by the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which produces 302 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Further enhanced by an optimally tuned 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and variable all-wheel drive, the GLA 35 rockets from 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. “With the new GLA 35 we are rounding off our attractive portfolio of compact entry-level models to the world of Mercedes-AMG,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “Our wide portfolio in this segment now has five models with which we are able to meet wide-ranging customer wishes. This has allowed us to transfer our AMG philosophy of Driving Performance to our dynamically growing compact segment. The muscular design, superior performance, and thrilling handling make the new GLA 35 a sporty crossover with hallmark AMG genes.” The exterior design of the GLA 35 features unmistakable design features and elements distinctive of AMG. The AMG-specific radiator grille, trim on the louvres of the outer air inlets, and a front splitter in silver chrome or high-gloss black as an option, clearly indicate the GLA as

family With the optional AMG Night Package, an even more individual appearance is assured through design features in high-gloss black, dark-tinted glass from the B-pillar to the rear, and black chrome-plated exhaust tailpipes. Inside the vehicle, the high-tech and sporty ambience of the new GLA is evident throughout. Characteristic AMG elements add to the design of the GLA, and include seat upholstery in ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA microfibre in black with red contrast topstitching. Carbonfibre structures grace the interior trim and add to the sporty character of the GLA. An interior in black/neva grey ARTICO man-made leather is also available. There are also four optional leather upholsteries. The combination of sporty design and sophisticated details continues all throughout the vehicle and is even evident in the innovative MBUX infotainment system. Whether it’s operated with the touchpad, Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel, or by voice/gesture control: MBUX is both versatile and flexible. Numerous functions -- even when expressed indirectly, can be activated via the intelligent voice-oper-

MBUX in the new GLA features AMG-specific content. The instrument cluster contains AMG details such as a start-up menu with three selectable AMG display styles: “Classic”, “Sport” and “Supersport”. The optional AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather/DINAMICA and features steering wheel buttons that are visibly and tangibly configured for performance. The material is extremely grippy, and features a 12 o’clock marking reminiscent of motorsport. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine has an immediate response to accelerator pedal commands, high tractive power (295 lb-ft max. torque from 3,000 rpm), a supremely lively response and an emotive engine note. The crankcase made of high-strength, lightweight die-cast aluminum reduces the vehicle weight where it matters most for driving dynamics. A twin-scroll exhaust gas turbocharger is used for turbocharging. It combines optimum responsiveness at low engine speeds with a strong power increase at higher speeds. The high technological standards of the new four-cylinder engine are also underscored by numerous efficiency-enhancing measures. These include CAMTRONIC variable valve train, intelligent thermal management for coolant and oil, high-precision piezo injectors and multi-spark ignition. In production, the patented CONICSHAPE® cylinder honing reduces in-engine friction and also increases efficiency.

transmission also contributes to the agile and dynamic character of the new GLA 35 4MATIC. The gear ratios have been configured so that the driver experiences very immediate acceleration in all speed ranges, combined with fast shift times and optimum connections during gear changes. With AMG Performance 4MATIC variable allwheel drive, the new GLA 35 4MATIC is designed to produce maximum traction and dynamic handling. Torque distribution is infinitely variable to suit the dynamic handling requirements of different driving conditions. The spectrum ranges from front-wheel drive only, to a 50:50 distribution to the front and rear axles. Drivers can choose between five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving programs that enable a wide range of vehicle characteristics. Toggling between “Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport+” and “Individual” will change the response of the engine and the timing of the transmission. The GLA 35 4MATIC comes equipped with AMG DYNAMICS as standard, a new feature within the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving programs. This integrated dynamic handling control system extends the stabilizing functions of ESP® with corrective interventions according to the driver’s wishes. During dynamic cornering, imperceptible braking intervention on the rear inside wheel creates a defined yawing moment about the vertical axis. This contributes to the GLA 35 4MATIC’s precise steering.

Transformative Times: Toyota Shares Its Vision for the Electrified Future of the Automobile TORONTO, ONTARIO: As he opened the recent 2020 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Toyota Canada President & CEO Larry Hutchinson stressed the vital role that hybrid-powered and other electrified vehicles will continue to play in the future of the automotive industry – and praised auto shows for their important role in enabling Canadians to explore and learn about them. “In a time when people question the value of auto shows, it’s clear that they are more beneficial than ever. They are a first-hand opportunity to see and test new technologies, to look at new products on the horizon, and to explore our electrified future,” Hutchinson said. Hutchinson noted that Toyota is a global pioneer and leader in vehicle electrification and is bringing a broad spectrum of alternative, electrified powertrains to market – including

the industry’s leading lineup of self-charging, gasoline-electric hybrids...plug-in hybrid and battery-electric models…and those powered by hydrogen fuel cells. “At Toyota, one size does not fit all – and we believe in a range of electrified solutions – especially here in Canada,” he said. “Needs differ depending on where and how people live, the distances they need to travel, the terrain they need to cover, and even the weather they face from season to season.” Hutchinson noted that even as many in the automotive industry focusing upon autonomous vehicles and environmental performance, motorsports still has a critical role to play in the future of the automobile Those advances on the track have translated into exciting new vehicles in Toyota Dealer showrooms – lead by a growing family of

Toyota Canada President & CEO Larry Hutchinson and GAZOO Racing Advisor Alexander Wars connect the dots between motorsports, technology development, and the electrified future of the automobile during keynote address at opening ceremonies for the 2020 Canadian International Auto Show

fuel-efficient, fun to drive hybrid models. First introduced to Canada 20 years ago with the

Prius, Toyota’s popular and proven hybrid powertrains are now available on popular models in many market segments – including the Corolla, Camry, RAV4 and Highlander. In addition to hybrid vehicles, Toyota’s electrified line-up includes the Prius Prime plug-in hybrid and the Mirai – a zero-emissions sedan powered by a hydrogen fuel cell stack. In the 2021 model year, the Prius Prime will be joined by another plug-in hybrid, the RAV4 Prime, while the Mirai will be upgraded with a second-generation model. “Whether you’re looking for performance or responsiveness, or amazing fuel efficiency and range, or improved torque, Toyota will have an electrified vehicle that works for you,” Hutchinson said. “We are on track to offering an electrified version of every model we sell by 2025.”

Canadians shouldn’t have to worry about paying their rent or mortgage or buying groceries CONTINUED FROM 1 employees and their bills during this time of uncertainty. This plan builds on coordinated action taken since the beginning of this outbreak, including the more than $1 billion COVID-19 Response Fund, which provided funding to provinces and territories to strengthen critical health care systems. It represents over $500 billion in credit and liquidity support for people and businesses through cooperation between financial Crown corporations, the Bank of Canada, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), and commercial lenders to ensure businesses can continue to operate. The actions are part of Canada’s wholeof-government response to COVID-19. As a first step, this plan aims to stabilize the economy through targeted measures to address immediate challenges faced by workers and businesses alike. It will help ensure that workers have the money they need while they are sick or in isolation, or due to loss of work or a significant reduc-

tion in work income, and help support people and businesses experiencing financial hardship because of the outbreak. Trudeau said Canadians should not make health decisions based on their financial needs. As the situation continues to evolve, further measures will be announced to support Canadians, stimulate the economy, and protect peoples’ jobs and livelihoods. Support for workers The Prime Minister said Canadians should not have to worry about paying their rent or mortgage or buying groceries because of the COVID-19 crisis. To support workers and their families, the Government of Canada is taking action to: * Provide additional assistance to families with children by temporarily boosting Canada Child Benefit payments. This measure would deliver almost $2 billion in extra support. * Introduce an Emergency Care Benefit of up to $900 bi-weekly for up to 15 weeks to provide income support to workers who

must stay home and do not have access to paid sick leave. This measure could provide up to $10 billion to Canadians, and includes: * Workers, including the self-employed, who are sick, quarantined, or who have been directed to self-isolate but do not qualify for Employment Insurance (EI) sickness benefits. * Workers, including the self-employed, who are taking care of a family member who is sick with COVID-19, such as an elderly parent or other dependents who are sick, but do not qualify for EI sickness benefits. * EI-eligible and non EI-eligible working parents who must stay home without pay because of children who are sick or who need additional care because of school closures. * Introduce an Emergency Support Benefit delivered through the Canada Revenue Agency to provide up to $5 billion in support to workers who are not eligible for EI and who are facing unemployment. * Provide additional assistance to indi-

viduals and families with low and modest incomes with a special top-up payment under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit. This measure would inject $5.5 billion in the economy. * Waive, for a minimum of six months, the mandatory one-week waiting period for EI sickness benefits for workers in imposed quarantine or who have been directed to self-isolate, as announced on March 11. * Waive the requirement for a medical certificate to access EI sickness benefits. * Extend the tax filing deadline for individuals to June 1, and allow all taxpayers to defer, until after August 31, 2020, the payment of any income tax amounts that become owing on or after today and before September 2020. This relief would apply to tax balances due, as well as instalments, under Part I of the Income Tax Act. No interest or penalties will accumulate on these amounts during this period. This measure will result in households having more money available during this period. * Provide eligible small businesses a 10 per cent wage subsidy for the next 90 days, up to a maximum of $1,375 per employee and $25,000 per employer. Employers benefiting from this measure would include corporations eligible for the small business deduction, as well as not-for-profit organisations and charities. This will help employers keep people on their payroll and help Canadians keep their jobs. * Provide increased flexibility to lenders to defer mortgage payments on homeowner government-insured mortgage loans to borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties related to the outbreak. Insurers will permit lenders to allow payment deferral beginning immediately. In addition, to provide targeted support for vulnerable groups, the Government is investing to: * Reduce minimum withdrawals from Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs) by 25 per cent for 2020 in recognition of volatile market conditions and their impact on many seniors’ retirement savings. * Implement a six-month, interest-free, moratorium on Canada Student Loan payments for all individuals who are in the process of repaying these loans. * Provide $305 million for a new distinctions-based Indigenous Community Support Fund, to address immediate needs in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nation communities. * Support women and children fleeing violence by providing up to $50 million to women’s shelters and sexual assault centres to help with their capacity to manage or prevent an outbreak in their facilities. This includes funding for facilities in Indigenous communities. * Provide an additional $157.5 million to address the needs of Canadians experiencing homelessness through the Reaching Home program. Support for businesses In the face of an uncertain economic situation and tightening credit conditions, the Government is taking action to help affected businesses. To support Canadian businesses and help them retain their workers during this difficult time, the Government is announcing measures to: * Allow all businesses to defer, until after August 31, 2020, the payment of any income tax amounts that become owing on or after today and before September 2020. This relief would apply to tax balances due, as well as instalments, under Part I of the Income Tax Act. No interest or penalties will accumulate on these amounts during this period. This measure will result in businesses having more money available during this period. * Increase the credit available to small, medium, and large Canadian businesses. As announced on March 13, a new Business Credit Availability Program will provide more than $10 billion of additional support

Saturday, Mar. 21, 2020 | Indo-Canadian Voice Main to businesses experiencing cash flow challenges through the Business Development Bank of Canada and Export Development Canada. The Government is ready to provide more capital through these financial Crown corporations. * Further expand Export Development Canada’s ability to provide support to domestic businesses. * Provide flexibility on the Canada Account limit, to allow the Government to provide additional support to Canadian businesses, when deemed to be in the national interest, to deal with exceptional circumstances. * Augment credit available to farmers and the agri-food sector through Farm Credit Canada. * Launch an Insured Mortgage Purchase Program to purchase up to $50 billion of insured mortgage pools through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). As announced on March 16, this will provide stable funding to banks and mortgage lenders and support continued lending to Canadian businesses and consumers. CMHC stands ready to further support liquidity and the stability of the financial markets through its mortgage funding programs as necessary. The Government will enable these measures by raising CMHC’s legislative limits to guarantee securities and insure mortgages by $150 billion each. The six largest financial institutions in Canada have made a commitment to work with personal and small business banking customers on a case-by-case basis to provide flexible solutions to help them manage through challenges, such as pay disruption due to COVID-19, childcare disruption due to school or daycare closures, or those suffering from COVID-19. As a first step, this support will include up to a six-month payment deferral for mortgages, and the opportunity for relief on other credit products. The Government of Canada will continue to monitor evolving economic conditions and seek greater relief measures should it be necessary. In order to move forward with implementing these new measures needed to provide timely support for Canadians and to ensure the Government has every tool at its disposal to address potential challenges that may arise, the Government intends to introduce special legislation and seek the approval of Parliament. The Government of Canada will continue to take further action as required to prioritize the health and safety of Canadians, stabilize the economy, and mitigate the economic impact of this pandemic. Trudeau said: “No Canadian should have to worry about paying their rent or buying groceries during this difficult time. That is why we are taking the strong action needed to stabilize our economy and help those impacted by the COVID-19 virus. Together, we will get through this difficult time.” Finance Minister Bill Morneau said: “These are extraordinary times and we must take extraordinary measures. The Government of Canada will do whatever it takes to ensure that the health of Canadians is protected, families and businesses are supported and our economy remains strong, even in the face of uncertainty. I am working with the financial sector, the Bank of Canada, my provincial and territorial colleagues, and my counterparts from around the world to keep coordinating on significant actions to protect the Canadian and global economy. Canadians can rest assured that we are ready to take all necessary measures to meet the challenges ahead.” BACKGROUNDER Temporary Income Support for Workers and Parents For Canadians without paid sick leave (or similar workplace accommodation) who are sick, quarantined or forced to stay home to care for children, the Government is: • Waiving the one-week waiting period for those individuals in imposed quarantine

that claim Employment Insurance (EI) sickness benefits. This temporary measure is in effect as of March 15, 2020. • Waiving the requirement to provide a medical certificate to access EI sickness benefits. • Introducing the Emergency Care Benefit providing up to $900 bi-weekly, for up to 15 weeks. This flat-payment Benefit would be administered through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and provide income support to: o Workers, including the self-employed, who are quarantined or sick with COVID-19 but do not qualify for EI sickness benefits. o Workers, including the self-employed, who are taking care of a family member who is sick with COVID-19, such as an elderly parent, but do not quality for EI sickness benefits. o Parents with children who require care or supervision due to school closures, and are unable to earn employment income, irrespective of whether they qualify for EI or not. Application for the Benefit will be available in April 2020, and require Canadians to at-

test that they meet the eligibility requirements. They will need to re-attest every two weeks to reconfirm their eligibility. Canadians will select one of three channels to apply for the Benefit: 1) by accessing it on their CRA MyAccount secure portal; 2) by accessing it from their secure My Service Canada Account; or 3) by calling a toll-free number equipped with an automated application process. Longer-Term Income Support for Workers For Canadians who lose their jobs or face reduced hours as a result of COVID’s impact, the Government is: • Introducing an Emergency Support Benefit delivered through the CRA to provide up to $5.0 billion in support to workers who are not eligible for EI and who are facing unemployment. • Implementing the EI Work Sharing Program, which provides EI benefits to workers who agree to reduce their normal working

hour as a result of developments beyond the control of their employers, by extending the eligibility of such agreements to 76 weeks, easing eligibility requirements, and streamlining the application process. This was announced by the Prime Minister on March 11, 2020.
