A re-elected Liberal government is promising to extend federal pandemic aid to help companies rehiring workers through until the end of next March.<\/p>\n
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau visited a machine manufacturing firm on Montreals south shore this morning to make his first policy announcement of the campaign.<\/p>\n
It was the second day in a row Trudeau held an event at a business that has benefited from some of the federal pandemic financial supports provided by the Liberals since March 2020.<\/p>\n
Trudeau said the Liberals would extend the Canada Recovery Hiring Program that covers up to half the wages of rehired workers.<\/p>\n
For hard-hit businesses who get the workers they need, to workers who get the jobs they need to support their families, this is a win-win, he said.<\/p>\n
From Day One, we focused on having your back, because thats what weve always stood for.<\/p>\n
Trudeau is also promising targeted support for the tourism and arts industries hit hardest by the pandemic.<\/p>\n
Tourism companies would get additional wage and rent supports to help them get through the winter, while Trudeau says a Liberal government would match ticket sales for performances to compensate for pandemic restrictions on venue capacity.<\/p>\n
Canadians have worked too hard to see change since the Harper government era to settle for what the Conservatives are offering, Trudeau said.<\/p>\n
The Tories would cut the programs that families, workers and businesses rely on, he said.<\/p>\n
These are the same people who wont commit that all of their candidates will be fully vaccinated. That approach wont protect Canadians or create jobs.<\/p>\n
