Toward this end, today’s episode finds Richard focusing on the Canadian Government’s response for employees which has been designed to help ensure that employees remain economically viable and have the necessary funds to maintain themselves and their families.

Quotes:
“This is a very important time for us to stick together, and to help each other.”
“The most important thing to do here would be to speak to your bank, and to see what type of help or solutions they can bring to your particular situation if you have been affected by the COVID-19 in terms of not being able to work.”
