He said “ for now all I can say is that we will continue to be there to support Canadians”.
There is a 16 week eligibility period for the $2000 dollar a month payment for a 4 month total of $8000.
By the first week of July a lot of recipients will have exhausted their eligibility.
He added “ because so many are still struggling, the government is working on a solution to extend the benefit for people who can’t return to work yet.”
Right now the final date Canadians can receive the benefit is October 3rd.
