COVID-19 and the Economy, Ontario Hubs & The Agenda's Week

As the world grapples with containing the coronavirus, the economy has already taken quite a hit. To discuss what's happened and how Canada will fare, The Agenda welcomes Lindsay Tedds, professor and scientific director of fiscal economic policy at The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary, and Frances Donald, managing director, chief economist and head of Macro Strategy at Manulife Investment Management. In more than 300 communities across Ontario, public libraries open their doors to readers, and increasingly, others looking for a much wider range of services. Our Ontario hubs journalists have been looking into the many uses for libraries and why funding them is still so important, and they chat with Jeyan Jeganathan about what they found in each of their regions of the province. Then, we recap our top stories.
