The Canadian government has announced measures to provide a lifeline to Canadian businesses and their workers to help manage the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the pace of information being released, and sometimes lack of details, it’s easy to lose track of how you’ll be able to use both the new or existing programs.  

Join members of the Grant Thornton team, JP Furey, Keith MacIntyre and Jim Creaser to gain an understanding of the programs so you can make an informed decision on which will best benefit you and your employees.

This is the first session in the series:

• Session one – A comprehensive review of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy with examples and Q&A

• Session two – An overview of popular programs including: Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, Temporary Wage Subsidy, HST Tax and other deferrals, Canada Emergency Response Benefit, Supplemental Unemployment Benefit and Work sharing program.
