Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford held a joint news conference on Friday where they took reporters' questions, following their participation in the Côté Gold Project groundbreaking in Gogoma, Ont., where IAMGOLD received approval to begin construction in July for an open-pit mine.

On Wednesday, Trudeau was asked about his government's upcoming Throne Speech and said he and his party have “no interest” in a fall election, saying they are focused on building the economy back following the COVID-19 pandemic. He said the Throne Speech would recognize inequities COVID-19 have highlighted, reduction of carbon emissions and other aspects he said the government has been focused on.

On Thursday, Ford spoke about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and said the federal government should be handing out fines to more people under the Quarantine Act. He says there are at least 622 people who have come into Ontario from outside Canada and failed to quarantine for 14 days.
