On November 13, 2020 CPA Canada noted that the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy had hit some speed bumps.
Of great concern was that support would only be provided in cases where rent was paid, leaving the hardest hit and most vulnerable businesses unable to access it. The government plans to expand it to payable scenarios as well.
CRA noted that they will endeavor to open the application process as quickly as possible after Royal Assent is received for Bill C-9.
