PM Trudeau warning of serious consequences for anyone trying to cheat the system

BY , Mar 30, 2020 10:22 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is warning of serious consequences for anyone trying to cheat the system as the federal government doles out wage subsidies meant to cushion the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Billions of dollars will be going out the door quickly.

Trudeau says the wages covered by the system will be capped at 847-dollars a week.

Trudeau says companies that can pay their employees without government help should do so and warns them not to game the system and abuse federal financial aid.
