Amid calls for accountability and to go beyond lowering flags at federal buildings, Trudeau told the media on Monda that Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and Northern Affairs Minister Dan Vandal will discuss what role his government should be playing in response to the development, reports Xinhua news agency.

In June 1940, after Italy joined the war as an ally to Germany, the government interned more than 600 people of Italian heritage, and about 31,000 Italian Canadians across the country were declared "enemy aliens", and many experienced discrimination, lost their jobs, or saw their businesses boycotted or vandalised,.

"To protect your health and limit the spread of Covid-19, we're extending the measures currently in place by another 30 days. Non-essential travel between our two countries remains restricted until June 21," the Prime Minister tweeted on Thursday. The restriction, which was enforced in March 2020, has been renewed every month since, reports Xinhua news agency.

Trudeau informed PM Modi about Canada's requirement for Covid-19 vaccines from India. Modi on his part assured the Canadian PM that India would do its best to support Canada's vaccination efforts, just as it had done for many other countries already.
