Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is ``heartbreak on top of heartbreak'' when families whose loved ones were killed in Nova Scotia on Sunday cannot gather to mourn because of the COVID-19 physical distancing rules.

Trudeau says it is the same heartbreak felt by thousands of other Canadians who have lost loved ones to the virus, or to cancer or other illnesses.

He says there will be a virtual vigil on Friday night for all of Canada to support the community.
