Currently, the CERB can be claimed for up to 16 weeks
OTTAWA — Canada will extend the Canada Emergency Response Benefit income support that was brought in to help people get through temporary job losses caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday.
“We will continue to be there to support Canadians in need,” Trudeau said in a news conference, adding he would provide more details about the extension “in coming days.” “We believe there needs to be an extension of the CERB,” Singh said on Monday. “It’s not acceptable for millions of Canadians to not know what’s going to happen.”
