MPs on finance committee ready for review of Liberals' latest pandemic aid package

The 12-member House of Commons finance committee is scheduled to meet Monday to move the aid bill closer to a final vote before MPs leave on their holiday break in two weeks' time.

The New Democrat adds that his party has concerns about how only workers subject to lockdowns would receive income support, leaving out thousands still struggling. Inflation is also likely to be on the minds of Conservative MPs on the committee as the party tries to pin the problem on the government, despite pressures coming from a variety of global factors, including supply-chain issues.

The bill before the committee proposes a $7.4-billion revamp of benefits to send them only to workers subject to lockdowns, and rent and wage subsidies for only the most hard-hit businesses through to May 7. The latest figures from Statistics Canada showed the economy grew at an annual rate of 5.4 per cent in the third quarter of the year, just a hair below what the Bank of Canada expected.

"People need to know that if another lockdown is imminent, or if they need to stay home because they're sick ... that there is stability there from income support," Unifor economist Kaylie Tiessen said Friday.

Ppl are starving and many going homelessness since the cerb was cut down from 2000 dollars. People are getting sick. Soon all the poor working tax payers will die off and the government will not be a government. CanadianPM
