The Manitoba government is promising wage subsidies for businesses that hire students this summer.
Premier Brian Pallister says the government will pay half of eligible wages, up to $7 per hour, to a maximum of $5,000 per student aged 15-29.
Each employer can get the subsidy for a maximum of five students, and the money will be paid out after summer ends.
Pallister says the subsidy should help businesses hurt by the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
