While Elizabeth May finds daily technical briefings on the coronavirus very helpful, other opposition MPs say these briefings are for information gathering only, and have limited value.

The daily teleconference briefing is coordinated by Health Minister Patty Hajdu’s office and takes place at 4:30 EST. The briefings, which are about 30-45 minutes long, started only a few days after the House adjourned in mid-March because of the spread of the coronavirus.
