    Conservative Leader @AndrewScheer suggests emergency benefits may prevent workers from returning to work as provinces start to reopen their economies. Claims we now risk labour shortages because of the design of the aid #cdnpoli

        Scheer is calling for a gradual reduction of the Emergency Response Benefit, so that 'it is always better off for Canadians to work' #cdnpoli

        He notes if people work too many hours they are no longer available to receive the benefit. Says that leaves many Canadians with a tough choice of continuing to receive the benefit or return to work #cdnpoli #COVID19

        Who are these people refusing to work so they can bring home $2000 a month for 4 months? If there’s any data that suggests this is true what does he suggest? No funding for the millions unemployed?

        it's the same old tired Conservative nonsense that people would rather not work and receive paltry benefits (which they think are extravagant apparently).

        #CDNpoli So... people don't want jobs because they have 3 months of poverty-line level of assistance??? People won't return to work because of safety concerns -- that should be the focus.

        Plus the incentive to stay home. That’s the entire point. Stay home while it isn’t safe to go out.

        @AndrewScheer assumes the worst of people & starts from a place of mistrust. He sees government as having to play an authoritative & intellectual superiority role amongst us unwashed masses. It's insulting & demeaning.

        Oh for heaven sake @AndrewScheer .. benefits are time limited, delivered through the tax system so tracked and reconciled. An adequate short term measure; Who is giving up a good job for 8000.00? Nobody I know...Cdns have a strong work ethic!
