Mr. Speaker, I am going to be perfectly clear. Our government is standing up for and will always stand up for Canadian workers. We have taken steps to protect 5.3 million jobs through the Canada emergency wage subsidy, which our government plans to extend.
In budget 2021, we also announced the introduction of the Canada recovery hiring program to support eligible employers by providing subsidies to cover part of the cost during reopening and the hiring of new staff.
We know that there is much more to do, and that is why our government will continue to support workers and Canadian families.
