The Government of Canada announced support measures for sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and evolving Omicron variant. Two programs summarized below replace the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy, which ended in October:

Tourism and Hospitality Recovery Program – provides support through wage and rent subsidies to tourism businesses that include hotels, tour operators, travel agencies and restaurants. Eligible applicants can receive a subsidy rate of up to 75 per cent. Qualifying conditions include an average monthly revenue reduction of at least 40 per cent over the first 13 CEWS claim periods and a current month revenue decline also measuring 40 per cent or more.

Hardest-Hit Business Recovery Program – provides support to other organizations through wage and rent subsidies of up to 50 per cent. Qualifying conditions include an average monthly revenue reduction of at least 50 per cent over the first 13 CEWS claim periods and a current month revenue decline also measuring 50 per cent or more.

Additional support measures announced include:

  • Increasing the monthly cap on eligible rent expenses that can be claimed
  • Increasing the subsidy rate for the Canada Recovery Hiring Program from 20 to 50 per cent.

The programs are in place until May 7, 2022, with authority for further extension until July.
