With respect, no one is disputing that Canadians want to work or that businesses want to operate, but you can understand why some workers would be legitimately fearful of going back to work, triggering the end of their benefit, and then finding out that their employer goes bankrupt in these terrible times, or that the lockdown is reinstated, at which point they would have neither a benefit nor a wage. It would be logical for many people, many hard-working and honest people, to avoid going over that $1,000 trip line in order to protect their own financial security. No one is suggesting that such a person would be wrong to do so.
Similarly, businesses receiving the rental subsidy have to ensure that they keep their revenues down at least 70%. For many of them, the subsidy will be worth more than their earnings. Many of them will face an impossible decision: If they get their business running up to, say, 50%, they lose their rental subsidy and they can't afford to pay their rent. These are unintended consequences, but you can understand how they put legitimate, hard-working people in an incredible dilemma.
Is your government open to suggestions to remove these trip lines so people can perform at their full potential without being penalized for it?
