總理6月16日演講稿件：關於CERB延伸的情況通報

2020年6月16日大家好。

在過去的幾個月中，我們推出了一些計劃，這些計劃正在切實改變全國數百萬人的生活。以阿爾伯塔省Canmore市的Rose and Crown Pub為例。當他們準備再次歡迎顧客時，他們使用工資補貼重新僱用了他們的15名員工。他們通過加拿大緊急商業款項獲得了一筆貸款，因此他們可以購買個人防護設備，有機玻璃屏幕和增設洗手站，以符合公共衛生準則。對於現在重返工作崗位的人以及想念自己喜歡的鄰里店鋪的當地人來說，這是個好消息。

這場危機剛開始時，很多人一夜之間喪失了他們的工作。他們不知道如何養家糊口並支付賬單。因此，我們的政府做出了迅速而實質性的響應，以通過諸如加拿大緊急救援補助金和加拿大緊急工資補貼之類的計劃來支持加拿大人。三個月後，我們開始在全國各地看到我們現在正處在一個逐漸安全地開始重新開放部分經濟的狀態。但我不會刻意美化目前的形勢。我們還有很長的道路要走。一些行業的反彈比其他行業更快。許多工人將能夠找到工作，而還有一些人無法就業。

在過去的幾個月中，加拿大人已經能夠依靠加拿大緊急救援補助金來幫助他們度過艱難的時期。現實是，即使我們開始重新開放，很多人在尋找工作時仍然需要這樣的支持來支付賬單。因此，今天我宣布，我們將把CERB資格延長8周。因此，如果您獲得了CERB，但仍然無法工作–因為找不到工作或根本不可能–您將繼續獲得每月$ 2000的收入。在接下來的幾周內，我們的政府將參考國際間最好的經驗與做法，並監視經濟和疫情的發展，以查看這一計劃需要進行哪些更改，以便支持更多的人。

但我希望對加拿大人民明確表明：

我們的目標是確保CERB以最好的方式為您服務。我們的政府將繼續為您服務。

此次疫情是我們國家前所未有的挑戰。

而且我們將確保我們的所有支持，包括加拿大緊急工資補貼和就業保險，都將有效地幫助加拿大人重新站起來。

這也是我提議向各省和地區提供140億加元以確保您可以托兒，進行測試和追蹤以及確保工作場所安全的重要原因。

隨着形勢的發展，我們的應對措施也必須隨之發展。

這就是我們將繼續做的事情。

 我想要以關於加拿大-美國邊境的最新動態來結束今天早晨的演說。我現在可以確認，加拿大和美國現行的邊境管理措施將再次延長30天，直到7月21日。這是一個重要的決定，並將會保障兩國民眾的安全。

 現在，我將會回答您的問題。

PM speaking notes for the June 16 COVID-19 update on CERB extension

16 juin 2020 Bonjour tout le monde. Hello everyone.

Over the past few months, we’ve introduced programs that are making a real difference in the lives of millions of people right across the country.

Take the Rose and Crown Pub in Canmore, Alberta.

As they were getting ready to welcome customers again, they used the wage subsidy to rehire their 15 employees.

And they got a loan through the Canada Emergency Business Account so they could buy personal protective equipment, plexiglass screens, and additional handwashing stations to comply with public health guidelines. That’s good news for people who are now back on the job, and for locals who missed their favourite neighbourhood spot.

When this crisis first began, a lot of people lost their jobs overnight.

They didn’t know how they were going to feed their families and pay their bills.

So, our government responded rapidly and substantially to support Canadians with programs like the Canada Emergency Response Benefit and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy.

Three months later, we’re beginning to see across the country that we’re now in a place where we are gradually and safely starting to reopen parts of the economy.

But I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

It’s a long journey ahead. Some sectors will bounce back more quickly than others. Many workers will be able to find work, but others won’t.

Over the past few months, Canadians have been able to count on the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to help them get through a tough time.

And the reality is that even as we start to reopen, a lot of people still need this support to pay their bills while they look for work.

That’s why today, I’m announcing that we will be extending eligibility for the CERB by 8 weeks. So, if you’ve been getting the CERB and you still can’t work – because you are unable to find a job or it’s just not possible – you will keep getting that $2000 a month. Over the next few weeks, our government will look at international best practices, and monitor the economy and the progression of the virus to see what changes – if any – need to be made to the program so that more people are supported.

But I want to be very clear with Canadians.

Our goal here is to make sure that the CERB is working for you in the best way possible.

Our government will continue to be there for you. This pandemic is an unprecedented challenge for our country.

And we’re going to make sure that all our supports, including the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and Employment Insurance, are working effectively to help get Canadians back on their feet.

That’s also a big part of the reason why I proposed to give the provinces and territories $14 billion to make sure that you have childcare, that there’s testing and tracing, and that your workplace is safe.

As the situation evolves, our response must evolve with it. And that’s what we’re going to keep doing.
