Trudeau vows more aid coming for Canadians as COVID-19 pandemic wages on

He has announced the government has merged two emergency care benefits into one, meaning anyone who has either lost their job or is off sick because of COVID-19 will be able to apply and receive money approximately 10 days later.

As the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to climb Canada-wide, Trudeau is addressing the nation in what’s become a daily appointment outside his residence. An equal number of Canadians who have tested positive for COVID-19 contracted the virus within their communities and from travel, Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam announced on Tuesday. She called this a "fundamental shift" in the transmission of the disease within Canada.

Thanks for any help. The biggest expense we face is rent, school fees , Hydro... they need to find ways to assist us during such difficult times .

Although it's clear that the NDP influenced the final package it's too bad that the govt didn't adopt the NDP's plan to get funds to people quickly - give it to everyone & then tax it back for those who didn't need it. That way nobody falls thru the cracks at this crucial time

Bloody conservatives just get on here and start complaining. He doesn’t have unilateral power to just start throwing cash around their are steps involved in getting money made available for the public. Read the article at the very least.

It doesnt say anything about the part timers that work full time hours because the companies dont hire full time no more because they can get away with it under the labour laws. It needs to be changed.

Weakling

$82B in fiscal aid is an enormous amount of money, and more generous than the US pandemic aid package (per capita). Do Canadian economists support this move, particularly in light of the fact that Trump wants the US economy up and running by Easter? What’s Trudeau’s BTW strategy?

Idiot!

More aid coming? Maybe they should actually deliver in the aid they've already promised before sending more.
