I support the additional lockdown measures announced by the province of Ontario today. The federal government has support available – right now – to help Canadians and small businesses get through this. #COVID19
The Rent Subsidy, which is available to tenants; Lockdown Support, for businesses affected by public health orders; and the Wage Subsidy, providing up to 75% of employee wages. Apply for these today at https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/covid19-emergency-benefits.html.
We’ve also expanded the Canada Emergency Business Account so small businesses can access an additional $20,000. Contact your bank or financial institution.
And if you cannot work or need to care for a loved one, there is the Recovery Benefit, the Sickness Benefit, or the Caregiving Benefit. These are available so you don’t need to worry about making ends meet or putting food on the table, especially now as we enter winter.
We will do whatever it takes and for as long as it takes to protect Canadians’ health, jobs, and businesses. We can and will get through this together.
