On June 10, 2020, the federal government introduced Bill C-17, An Act respecting additional
COVID-19 measures, for first reading. If passed in its
current form, Bill C-17 would, among other things, make changes to
the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) and the
Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). The
CEWS is a 75% wage subsidy designed to encourage employers to
retain employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The CERB is a taxable
benefit of $2,000 every four weeks for up to four months for
eligible workers who have lost their income due to the COVID-19
crisis.
Amendments to the CEWS
If passed in its current form, Bill C-17 would make the
amendments to the CEWS that we discussed here.
