OTTAWA – The Delivery of canadian emergency (PCU) will be available for two more months.

The prime minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement Tuesday morning.

“Some sectors will bounce back more quickly than others. A lot of people will find work, but this will not be all the world,” said Mr. Trudeau to justify his decision.

“It means that if you touch the PCU and that you can’t return to work – because you can’t find work or that it is not possible at this time – you will continue to receive your$ 2,000 per month,” he detailed.

We understand that the criteria for receiving this assistance will remain the same.

The new democrats had called for an extension of the measure and presented their demand as a condition for their support in a confidence vote on the grants on Wednesday, in the Commons.

The bloquistes continued, Tuesday morning, to seek a change to the PCU so that it does not discourage the return to work.

Canada-u.s. border

Ottawa and Washington agreed to extend by another month the restrictions on travel between the two countries.

Only travel essential will continue to be permitted until 21 July.

“It is a decision that will protect the people of the two sides of the border while we continue the fight against the COVID-19”, said Mr. Trudeau in his press conference daily.
