Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today a new stimulus package that will help Canadians who are unemployed right now because of the COVID-19 pandemic that is making our life upside down.
PM Trudeau posted this good news on his official Facebook page.
We’re doing everything we can to support you right now. Because at a time like this, you should be focused on what matters most – your health and the health of those you love. That’s exactly why we’re announcing the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit today.
If you’ve lost your income as a result of COVID-19, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit will give you $2,000 a month for up to 4 months. If you’ve lost your job – whether you worked full time, on contract, or were self-employed – you qualify for the benefit.
If you lost income because you’re sick or quarantined, if you’re looking after someone who’s sick, or if you’re home taking care of the kids – you qualify. And if you’re still employed but not receiving income because of COVID-19 – you qualify too. We won’t leave anyone behind.
