As Canadians continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and regional public health measures and lockdowns, our Liberal government will always ensure they have the support they need to get through the pandemic.

That’s why we introduced measures to support workers and their families. We introduced the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit, and extended the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit and Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit to May 7, 2022.  As we continue to support workers impacted by COVID-19, we remain focused on the long-term recovery of our economy and will continue to support Canadians for as long as it takes.
