Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says Quebec will not be penalized for being the first province to top up wages for essential workers.
The government announced plans to increase wages for essential workers who make less than $2,500 per month, but the details must still be worked out with the provinces.
When asked whether Quebec workers would also receive the federal funds, Freeland says Quebec will not be penalized for setting a positive example.
