We will work with provinces and territories through a new transfer to cost-share a temporary top up to the salaries of low-income workers (those who earn less than $2,500 per month on a full time basis),that the provinces and territories have deemed essential in the fight against COVID-19.

This will provide a much needed boost to those on the front-line in hospitals,those caring for seniors in long-term care facilities,those working so hard to make sure that there that is food on our shelves and tables,and others.

More details will be released shortly.
