Ottawa will pay wages for businesses who’s revenue has dropped at least 30 percent due to COVID-19 fall outs

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is revealing the details of a previously announced wage subsidy Monday morning.

Trudeau said the program will cover all businesses whose revenue has dropped by at least 30 percent because of economic fall outs due to COVID-19.

There is no restriction on the number of employees a company must have in order to qualify.

“The number of employees you have will not determine whether or not a business get this support,” Trudeau said Monday morning. “It will apply to non-profit organizations, and charities, as well as companies both big and small,” Trudeau added.

The government will cover 75 percent of salary on the first $58,700 a person earns.
