“Yes, we need to keep meeting as leaders, whether that’s virtual or in person,” Trudeau told reporters during his daily press conference in Ottawa.
“We’ll certainly take a look at what the US is proposing as hosts of the G7 to see what kind of measures will be in place to keep people safe, what kind of recommendations the experts are giving in terms of how that might function.”
Trudeau said Canadian officials “look forward to having those discussions with the American hosts.”
