No matter who you are or what you do, right now you should be focused on your health - and not about whether you will lose your job or run out of money for things like groceries or medicine. So today, we announced a $82-billion economic plan that will help Canadians get through these challenging times. If you own a small business, we will provide you with a temporary wage subsidy for three months so you can keep your workers on the payroll during these uncertain & challenging times. And if your business needs support navigating this difficult time, know that Export Development Canada is here for you. If you do not qualify for Employment Insurance and do not have access to paid sick leave but have to self-isolate or quarantine, or if you need to take care of a family member who has COVID-19, you will receive an Emergency Care Benefit of up to $900 every two weeks. The spread of this virus is forcing all of us to change our ways, and we know it’s a big adjustment. But we have your back, and together we will get through this.
