Our government will always be there to support Canadians, with whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

To ensure no one is left behind as our economy starts to recover, we have: 

• Maintained flexible access to EI benefits for another year, until the fall of 2022. 
• Extended the number of weeks available under the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) from 2 to 4 weeks. 
• Extended the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) and the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB) by an additional 12 weeks, until September 25; and 
• Extended EI sickness benefit from 15 to 26 weeks, fulfilling our campaign promise.
