Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the federal government will extend three COVID-19 support programs until June to continue support Canadian jobs and businesses through the government-mandated shutdowns amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically, the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy, and Lockdown support will be extended from March 14 to June 5, with the current rate structures remaining the same.
