On May 15, 2020, the Government of Canada announced changes to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS).  Our colleagues discuss those changes in our McCarthy Tetrault Tax Perspectives blog here.

The Government’s press release and backgrounder to the announced changes to the CEWS can be found here and here. 

We are continuing to review these changes and monitor further updates which are anticipated in the coming weeks.   In the interim, if you are an employer and have any questions about the CEWS program or any other COVID-19 workplace matter, please contact any member of our National Labour & Employment Group.
