Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he supports the call by the United States and others to better understand the origins of COVID-19.

He says these efforts will not only ensure accountability but also full understanding of how to protect the world from any future pandemics.

Trudeau says he knows there are ``a lot of theories out there,'' but a full and complete airing of the facts is necessary to actually understand what happened and prevent it from happening again.

President Joe Biden has ordered U.S. intelligence officials to ``redouble'' their efforts to investigate the origins of COVID-19, including any possibility the trail might lead to a Chinese laboratory.

After months of minimizing the possibility the coronavirus emerged from a lab accident, Biden's administration is responding to U.S. and world pressure for China to be more open about the outbreak.
