CBC News: The National | Where Ottawa’s pandemic spending went | Dec. 6, 2020

A CBC News investigation, The Big Spend, examines how the federal government spent the $240 billion handed out during the first eight months of the pandemic. The details on how much individual Canadians received, who supplied PPE and which publicly-traded company got the most help. The worsening situation inside long-term care homes and why it’s so hard to make changes quickly enough to make a difference. Plus, how Jill Barber took the online performance to the next level.
