The Federal Government Must Not Penalize Canadians Returning to Work.

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister has called on the federal government to change the Canada Emergency Response Benefit so it doesn’t penalize Canadians wanting to return to work.  He explains the current CERB rules disqualify all workers who earn more than a thousand dollars a month. He notes in other words if you earn a thousand dollars a month then you’re eligible for two thousand additional dollars which means you have a total gross income of three thousand dollars, but if you earn an additional dollar you lose two thousand dollars so what it means is that someone who is approaching getting that thousand dollars is going to be discouraged from getting one thousand and one so for this reason this program needs to be redesigned to make sure people are not penalized for working.

             

Pallister has written all premiers urging them to encourage the federal government to make changes to the CERB and encourage Canadians to transition back to their jobs with the support of the expanded Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy.
