Andrew Scheer gives PM Trudeau a failing grade for his ability to handle the economic fallout of COVID-19

The federal Conservatives are proposing a "bonus" be paid to recipients of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to convince them to get back to work and eventually off the CERB.

Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer also today gave Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a failing grade for his ability to handle the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the Conservative "back to work bonus" plan, Canadians who lost their jobs through no fault of their own during the pandemic would continue to receive their full 2,000 dollars per month CERB.

In addition, as businesses reopen, workers who make between one and five thousand dollars per month would qualify for the bonus, which would eventually be phased out.
