It is concerning to me that the government wouldn't have an idea already for the period from October 23 to now of whether the criteria it has laid out in its own legislation to trigger a benefit for $300 a week for workers who are in distress would have been met or not.
I mean, we know what the public health orders for the jurisdictions have been since October 23. There's no new information coming to be analyzed, so how is it that the department could have no idea? How would you even assess the cost of this program for October 23 to now if you have no idea whether the public health orders to date would be sufficient to trigger the legislation or not?
