Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Surrey Centre for his strong advocacy.
From the beginning of this pandemic, we have been clear with Canadians that we are there for them now and we will be through our recovery.
Just last week, we announced that the government intended to extend the current rate structures for the Canada emergency wage subsidy and the Canada emergency rent subsidy to June 5. These subsidy rates will remain the same, and the lockdown support will continue to be there to provide additional support to hard hit businesses, with rent support of up to 90%.
Workers and businesses have shown incredible resilience over the past year and we will continue to be there for them.
