As part of the agreement, the federal government has committed to providing funding for COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, as well as support for vulnerable populations, including seniors and those experiencing homelessness.

In addition to this funding, the agreement also includes measures to support the reopening of schools and childcare facilities, as well as funding for municipalities to help them address the financial impacts of the pandemic.

Overall, the Safe Restart Agreement is an important step in Ontario`s efforts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. By providing much-needed funding and support for critical initiatives, the province will be better equipped to safely restart its economy and get people back to work.
