Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government are committed to doing whatever it takes to protect and support Canadians during this challenging time. After an overnight session, Parliament has passed the new COVID-19 Emergency Response Act, ensuring that Canada has the tools and flexibility to respond quickly to these emerging challenges.
That includes the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which will provide $2000 a month for the next 4 months to workers who lose their income as a result of COVID-19.
We will always put the health and safety of Canadians first, and the measures outlined in the Act will provide immediate help to the Canadian workers, businesses, and families that need it most, including:
No Canadian should have to worry about paying their bills, having the money for rent, or putting food on the table at a time where many parts of life remain uncertain. And our Liberal government will continue to take strong action to keep Canadians safe, support our healthcare system, and stabilize our economy.
We’re all in this together, friend. Thank you for your support, and for all that you are doing to help keep your family, your community, and all Canadians safe at this crucial time.
Liberal Party of Canada
