PM Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Trudeau has provided his first COVID update for the new year.

His message to Canadians was that he can understand that they're frustrated.

Trudeau says after two years, Canadians now know how to keep their loved ones safe and how to keep our health-care system from being overwhelmed.

He says as long as we keep doing our part, we'll be looking at a better spring.

Trudeau expresses frustration over flight videos:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's "extremely frustrated" by video that shows passengers on board a Sunwing flight to Mexico last month apparently ignoring public health measures.

Videos of the December 30th flight shared on social media appear to show passengers not wearing masks as they gather in close proximity, singing and dancing in the aisle and on seats.

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra and three other cabinet members said in a release yesterday that officials will launch an investigation into the Sunwing incident, and that non-compliance with regulations can result in fines of up to five-thousand dollars.
