REACTIONS:

The reactions have been mixed.

Both Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP and The Hon. Candice Bergen from the Conservative Party sharply criticized it in the House of Commons as not containing a strong enough plan on COVID-19.

Premieres, including Jason Kenny, have sharply criticized it as being tone-deaf to the provinces & focusing on trending issues rather than what Canadians need.
