Feds to extend wage subsidy program until December

This marks the second extension of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy . On May 15, the government added an additional 12 weeks to the program, extending eligibility to August 29.

"For the last three months, you’ve seen me come out to talk with Canadians about what we’re doing to help you and your family, your employer, your local businesses deal with this pandemic. We’re going to continue to do that vital work," said Trudeau during a press briefing outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa.

Announced on March 27, the CEWS provides qualifying businesses and non-profits funding for 75 per cent of employee wages, retroactive from March 15. The objective of the program is to keep employees on the payroll so businesses can rebound more quickly when restrictions are lifted and the economy restarts. The CEWS had a slow uptake, but has drastically increased in popularity, as highlighted in the federal snapshot released last Wednesday.

The extension "will give greater certainty and support to businesses as we restart the economy," said Trudeau.

Wish I had the same money tree as the Liberals 🤦‍♀️

Just curious did they forget their is seniors

Will people be able to continue on unemployment? How will those unable to save pay next years taxes? It's stupid to not take taxes off as you get it, same as EI does, then expect them to be able to come up with the money all at once later. This worries me. It's unpayable debt 🤬

This actually means that the liberals are going to phase out CERB and put the money into cews, the wage subsidies for business. In other words, it is time to go back to work kiddies.

No wonder nobody wants to go back to work, many summer jobs available but nobody wants them since they get paid to take summer off.

Vote buying cause he got caught again

Oh I get it - it’s Harper’s fault

People need to get back to work. This isn’t helpful any longer. Provide incentives for new jobs so people can work and not sit at home. Enough.

Unbelievable

Of course they did !

Give give give. And we have to pay forever.

More PM bumbling word from incompetent PM and liberal party.
