In his announcement, Trudeau also included plans to loosen eligibility requirements to the Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) that will help more small- and medium-sized businesses struggling during the pandemic. The earlier CEBA plan, said Trudeau, is updated to cover businesses who spent between $20,000 and $1.5 million on payroll last year, Trudeau said. The previous threshold for businesses was a minimum payroll of $50,000 and a maximum of $1 million. Trudeau also said he would discuss with premiers later today about how to boost pay for critical support workers in long-term care homes.
