Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau says Canada supports the Biden administration’s request for U.S. intelligence agencies to “redouble” their efforts in investigating the origins of COVID-19.

“It is important that we do the science to figure out where it originated from because it may happen again and so therefore we do support President Biden’s announcement earlier this week to investigate more fully,” Garneau said in an interview on CTV’s Evan Solomon Show on Sunday.
