Excellent government initiative but implementation
flawed
LET ANALIZE THIS RESOLUTION ABOUT THIS CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIA:
☆Eligibility
The benefit will be available to workers:
Residing in Canada, who are at least 15 years old;
Who have stopped working because of COVID-19 or are
eligible for Employment Insurance regular or sickness
benefits:
Who had income of at least $5,000 in 2019 or in the
12 months prior to the date of their application; and
Who are or expect to be without employment or
self-employment income for at least 14 consecutive days in
the initial four-week period. For subsequent benefit periods,
they expect to have no employment income.
The income of at least $5,000 may be from any or a
combination of the following sources: employment;
self-employment; maternity and parental benefits under the
Employment Insurance program and/or similar benefits paid
in Quebec under the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan.
The Benefit is only available to individuals who stopped work
as a result of reasons related to COVID-19. If you are looking
for a job but haven’t stopped working because of COVID-19,
you are not eligible for the Benefit. ☆RCI / Government of Canada

Now, is this fair to those who earn very little or do not earn enough to survive?
It is my question.
Now, look at this :
☆“Somebody on April 3, 2020 at 11:26 AM
So the government is basically screwing over all the
part time workers (and even full time workers) who do
not make $2000 in 4 weeks, when their work is deemed
essential? 7 eleven employees, gas jockeys,
grocery store workers, and many more have to do
their job, and make less than deadbeats, sitting on
their ass doing nothing for four weeks.
Sounds like a typical Trudeau plan, and huge oversight.
Why would anybody want to work when people
are sitting at home staying safe, making more
money than people putting their life on the line in
an essential service?
4) In order to apply, you must have earned at least $5000 in declared income over the past 12 months and have suffered a loss of income due to COVID-19. This program is available to those who do not qualify for other paid leave programs, such as paid leave or other income support.
5) It is a taxable benefit of $2000/month for up to
four months.
6) Self-employed workers also qualify for this program
(as long as they meet the criteria in #4).”

So, It is not fair at all.
They are
discriminating
against the poorest
By the way, MPs, Ministers, Premiers, Mayors should donate a
minimum of 15% of their salaries for the most deprived
FACILITATE LIFE FOR CANADIANS
According to the Ministry of Finance, the government tries to
provide
Canadians with the money they need as
quickly as possible. And
it is for this reason that the portal access to the
PCU will be put into service at the
beginning of April. Canadians eligible for unemployment
insurance who
lost their jobs can
continue to file their
claims for unemployment
insurance benefits.
Applicants will begin receiving their PCU payments no later than
10 days
after submitting their
application.
The grant will be paid every 4 weeks and will be offered from
March 15
to October 3, 2020.
This subsidy is an element of the Government of Canada's
Economic
Intervention Plan to respond to the
economic crisis caused by COVID-19. The PCU provides financial
support to the country's workers and
businesses, stabilizing the economy by helping Canadians pay for
essential goods and
goods, such as living
and food on the one hand, and assisting businesses to They can
pay
their employees' wages
and pay their
bills in this unprecedented period of global uncertainty.

I repeat, I think the
government's initiative to give a monetary collaboration to citizens (to some)
is really excellent, but implementation is not the best
Better advisers are
required to teach how to run this program. We understand that this is actually
something new.
Now, the logical thing, the sensible thing is that the
government is definitely a way to embrace all the citizens (needy) so that in
reality a true "SOCIAL JUSTICE" is being carried out.
There is definitely no doubt that sooner rather than later
new resolutions will come to favor all disadvantaged citizens.
