Madam Chair, I thank the hon. member for highlighting the plight of students in the context of COVID-19. We want to make sure that we support students at this difficult time. A substantial number of students would actually be eligible for the CERB, as they made a minimum of $5,000 last year in employment income.
However, we have already taken steps to ensure that the ones who are not eligible for CERB are supported in another way through the enhancement of the Canada summer jobs program, increasing the subsidy for employers in the business community to consider hiring Canada's summer job students by increasing that subsidy to 100%, lengthening the time period for the Canada summer jobs program itself, and continuing to listen to students to find other ways to support them.
