With the Canada Emergency Response Benefit expiring on Saturday, Parliament will be debating a bill early next week to introduce new supports for Canadians.

Monday and Tuesday have been chosen by the Trudeau government for when the bill — that would support workers during the second wave of the pandemic — will be debated.

The federal Liberals and NDP reached a deal Friday for a federal program that delivers two weeks of paid sick leave to Canadians impacted by COVID-19.

Details are expected Monday when the changes to Bill C-2 will be formally tabled in the House of Commons.
