It has been a very emotional day in the town of Lévis, Que. Two young sisters Romy and Norah Carpentier were laid to rest. The girls were found dead on July 11 following an Amber Alert. Mike Armstrong reports.

Heated debate in Ottawa today over financial support for Canadians in the COVID-19 pandemic. While MPs on both sides of the aisle found common ground on assistance for people with disabilities, there are still divisions over changes to the emergency wage subsidy. Abigail Bimman reports.

Most of Ontario has moved into phase three of its reopening plan. Restaurants and bars are allowing people back inside, but that doesn’t include Toronto just yet. Health officials say that’s a good thing. As Jeff Semple reports, the indoor bar scene is uniquely suited to the spread of COVID-19.

In Canada, the approach to making wearing face masks mandatory varies from province to province. But one thing is clear, where they are compulsory that rule may stay in effect until a vaccine is found for COVID-19. Never before has so much effort been concentrated on vaccine development.
