The House of Commons has approved a massive $73-billion wage subsidy program aimed at helping businesses and workers survive the economic ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The bill was passed ``on division,'' meaning there was some opposition among the handful of MPs in the chamber but there was no recorded vote.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling it the most significant economic program since the Second World War.
The bill is expected to be passed by the Senate and receive royal assent later today.
