Canada will extend federal income support by eight weeks for those who lost their jobs amid the COVID-19 outbreak, and the border with the United States will remain closed to non-essential travel, the prime minister said on Tuesday.

At a news conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that the 13 provinces and territories were gradually restarting their economies, but said the income support would still be needed. Unemployment in Canada hit a record high in May. The opposition New Democratic Party’s leader, Jagmeet Singh, had said he would not support a confidence vote in parliament on Wednesday if the CERB were not extended.
“This is what we were calling for in the short term,” Singh said about the extension. “We’ll keep working to make sure help is there for Canadians who need it in the long term.”
