COVID-19: Canada Responds
At a press conference in Edmonton, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney discusses the province’s plan to recognize critical workers who continue to provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic. He announces that essential workers who have worked over 300 hours since the beginning of the pandemic will receive a $1,200 one-time payment through the Critical Worker Benefit. This $465 million joint federal-provincial program will reach approximately 380,000 Albertans. The premier is joined by Alberta Labour and Immigration Minister Jason Copping. (no interpretation)
