Mr. Chair, before the minister's last sentence, I would have interpreted her answer as an unconditional “yes”. I would obviously like to be kept informed.
To qualify for the CERB, someone has to have earned $5,000 in income. I have some questions about what is considered income.
For example, a university scholarship is income for a student, but it is not taxable. Does that amount count in an application for the CERB?
Another question has to do with benefits for people who are not currently working. Quebec has the CSST for people who are injured at work and the SAAQ for people who have been in a car accident. There are also people who are cashing in their RRSPs. This is taxable income.
Does all of that count towards the $5,000?
