Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted with sorrow to word of the passing of Queen Elizabeth at the age of 96.
Trudeau says the Queen had an "obvious, deep and abiding love and affection for Canadians."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was set to tell Canadians about new measures to help with the rising cost of living, but the announcement has been delayed by the death of the Queen.
The federal government will temporarily double GST rebate cheques, increase aid to help low-income Canadians pay their rent and launch the first part of a national dental care plan.
But news of the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second interrupted the plan to unveil the changes as the Liberal cabinet meets in Vancouver.
It's now unclear when the announcement will happen.
