The federal government has announced a suite of changes to the popular income and business support programs put in place during the pandemic and set to expire on Saturday.
The changes come with a price tag of $7.4 billion.
The Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) will be replaced by the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit for those whose work is directly impacted by government-imposed lockdowns.
Freeland also announced the implementation of two new programs to help hard-hit sectors, replacing the wage and rent subsidies.
