I also have a question for the CRA.
The C.D. Howe Institute's crisis working group has pointed to high CERB application rates as an indicator that workers are being incentivized to leave their jobs in exchange for support through the emergency response benefit. It also goes on to suggest that the implementation of the CEWS may result in a decline in CERB applications, as more employees choose to remain with their employer.
Are high CERB application rates a cause for concern, and should action be taken by the government if CERB applications do not decline following the implementation of the CEWS? What steps will be taken to ensure a smooth transition as individuals receiving the CERB return to work?
