The Bloc Québécois was the only party that did not apply for the emergency wage subsidy. In the beginning, that subsidy was not intended for political parties. As far as I understand, when regulations were passed, a breach was created allowing political parties to use the wage subsidy to fill their coffers during the pandemic.
The Liberal Party received that subsidy, and it apparently stopped doing so it in September. The Conservatives did the same thing, but they also stopped receiving the subsidy in September. Those two parties will not repay what they received.
The Green Party and the NDP continue to receive money through the wage subsidy, even though that was intended for struggling businesses at risk of closing. Yet I have never seen a political party shut down because of insufficient funding.
Were you told by the government that political parties could receive money through that subsidy?
