In his May 20 briefing to Canadians, the PM announced a launch date for the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program, and outlined the details of new loans for big business.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks during his daily news conference on the COVID-19 pandemic outside his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
Over the last two months, Canadians have stepped up to keep each other safe, and because of those actions and those choices, in many parts of the country, we’re getting this virus under control. Now, that doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. What our progress does mean is that where it’s safe to do so, we can gradually and carefully restart some of our activities.
These are challenging times, but together we can protect jobs and make sure that our economy bounces back. And that will be good for everyone.
