CBC News, July 21, 2020
Legislation introduced by the Liberal government to change the federal wage subsidy and provide relief to people with disabilities passed the House of Commons today by unanimous consent. The legislation, C-20, expands the number of companies that qualify for the wage subsidy, changes the amount companies can put toward their workers’ wages and extends the wage subsidy program to the end of the year. The bill also sends a one-time payment of $600 to people with disabilities and extends some legal deadlines for court cases.
