Multiple people have also contacted CTV News to report the issue."The technical issues which impacted the application process for the Recovery Benefits has now been restored. Taxpayers may now resume their applications.

Ontario reports 649 new COVID-19 cases; fewer new cases in hot spots Toronto and OtttawaThere are 140 new cases in Toronto, well short of Saturday’s count of 358, while Ottawa also saw new cases decline to 54 on Sunday The number of new cases dropped 31% since Friday. The drop is too high without context or explanation. Does anyone on fordnation's advisory council really know what is going on? No testing done at most sites in Ottawa Monday and Tuesday. Lots of ppl 8 days, 9 days post test and no results. God only knows where tests were sent. I don't believe this low number means anything. Judging by comments made by health officials here, I don't think they do either. Test results were likely sent to the US for processing, and we know they aren’t in any hurry to bother with unimportant things like that.
