Thank you.
My second question is also for the Department of Finance officials, but it has a public policy and taxation aspect to it.
When someone has an income of more than $1,000, they aren't entitled to the full CERB amount. Obviously, this measure was put in place to ensure that people don't just go to work a few hours in order to benefit from the CERB.
As the economy recovers and the lockdown ends, some people may refuse to go to work or may have little incentive to return to work. In some cases, employers won't need a full-time employee because the demand won't be great enough. Instead, the employer may be looking to hire a part-time employee.
Will changes be made to the CERB program to ensure that people don't lose everything?
We need to ensure that employers aren't understaffed and that programs put in place to help employees aren't detrimental to them.
