Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will receive a shipment of “millions of masks” in the next 48 hours.

“We’re working around the clock to get Canada the resources we need,” Trudeau said in his daily update on Canada’s efforts during the pandemic. “We are also working with provinces to transport their medical supplies when possible.”

Along with delivering items that were ordered by Quebec, the government has leased a warehouse in China to help collect and distribute the items as quickly as possible. The delivery process will be handled by Air Canada and Cargojet.
