CEWS extension formally approved
The federal government has given Bill C-9 royal assent, ensuring that the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program will continue until June 2021.
“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Members of Parliament and Senators from all parties for supporting the timely passage of Bill C-9 to ensure workers and employers get the help they need to get them through the winter and the second wave of COVID-19,” says Chrystia Freeland, deputy prime minister and minister of finance. “Canadians know that in times of crisis we must all work together. Our government will keep taking action to protect jobs, support businesses, and keep Canadians safe and healthy.”
