JUSTIN TRUDEAU TO ANSWER KIDS’ QUESTIONS ON CBC/RADIO-CANADA
Thursday, April 2, 2020—CBC Kids News and MAJ, Radio-Canada’s news platform for kids, invite young Canadians aged 6–13 to ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, their questions about the nationwide effort against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kids may submit their questions from Thursday, April 2 at 12 p.m. EDT to Friday, April 3 at 5 p.m. EDT by email to CBC Kids News at cbckidsnews@cbc.ca for English speakers and via the MAJ website or Zone Jeunesse on Radio-Canada.ca for French speakers.
All questions will be compiled by the CBC Kids News and MAJ teams so that the prime minister receives a selection representative of kids’ concerns. Prime Minister Trudeau and Dr. Tam will answer them in a video conference that will be available simultaneously on the CBC Kids News and MAJ platforms, and broadcast on CBC TV, CBC Gem and ICI TÉLÉ on Sunday, April 5 at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT), and available as of 9 a.m. ET on cbckidsnews.ca. CBC/Radio-Canada will make this video conference available to all broadcasters.
This initiative is yet another example of how CBC/Radio-Canada is committed to serving Canadians of all regions, backgrounds—and ages—during this crisis.
