Corbella: Changes announced Thursday by Canada’s new Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Minister of Employment Carla Qualtrough would make young workers eligible to collect Employment Insurance benefits for six months after only working 120 hours.
The ministers also announced that they were extending the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) for four more weeks to give government time to revamp the Employment Insurance program to allow more Canadians to receive financial aid during COVID-19.
“Every day I hear from worried business owners that they’re having troubles competing with the CERB to get workers,” said Kelly, whose organization represents small business owners who employ 60 per cent of working Canadians.
