The RCMP says its officers could visit homes to ensure any person entering Canada is self-isolating for 14 days.

The police force says it has been asked to help enforce the Quarantine Act in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.

Police can also now arrest people for violating the Act, though the RCMP says that will be a last resort.

Previously they could only issue a court appearance notice or summons. Failing to comply with the Quarantine Act could lead to a fine of up to $750,000 and imprisonment for six months.

Poilievre is also attacking the Prime Minister over the delay in the federal budget, saying that Carney calls himself a 'great economist' but never ask him why the budget was delayed so much or how big the
