China News Service, Toronto, September 19 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) The leader of Canada's largest opposition Federal Conservative Party, Erin O'Toole, was confirmed to be infected with the new crown virus on the evening of September 18, local time.

At present, the leaders of the largest and second largest opposition parties in the Canadian Parliament have been confirmed to be infected with the virus on the eve of the resumption of Parliament.

  A statement issued by the Conservative Party stated that O'Toole is in self-isolation and is in good condition.

The test results of his wife and children were negative.

  Lego, the governor of Quebec, who had recently had a one-on-one meeting with O'Toole, said that he was in isolation.

However, Lego met with the three governors of Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba in Ottawa earlier on the 18th.

  O'Toole and his family were tested for the virus in Gatineau across the river from Ottawa on the 17th.

He complained afterwards that people waited too long for testing.

  Born in 1973, O'Toole was elected the new leader of the Conservative Party in late August.

If nothing happens, he will be the main contender for the post of Prime Minister in the next Canadian federal election.

  Yves-François Blanche, the leader of the Quebec Group, the second largest opposition party in the Canadian Parliament, was also confirmed to be positive in the new crown test earlier on the 18th.

Blanche is now being treated in isolation at home and is in good condition.

His wife was confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus three days ago.

A staff member in his office confirmed the infection earlier and has caused many colleagues to self-isolate.

  Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on August 18 that the Congress adjourned early.

  The Canadian Parliament will resume on September 23.

The Liberal Party government will then propose a new governance plan in the context of the new crown epidemic.

The plan will accept a vote of confidence.
