Canada - Increase to Number of Weeks for Canada Recovery Benefits and
Employment Insurance Regular Benefits



*(French follows English)*

Good day,

We are writing to share important information which may impact you and/or
individuals supported by, or employed by, your organization.

The Government of Canada continues to modify and enhance its programs and
services to support Canadians while respecting public health measures. We
know that Canadians are making difficult but important sacrifices
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure their own health and safety, as
well as the health and safety of their families and communities across the
country.

To ensure that Canadians continue to have access to supports during this
time, the Government of Canada has introduced legislation and regulatory
amendments to* increase the number of weeks of benefits available under the
Canada Recovery Benefits and Employment Insurance (EI) regular benefits*.
Bill C-24, the proposed legislation, received Royal Assent
<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Fen%2Femployment-social-development%2Fnews%2F2021%2F03%2Fc-24-royal-assent.html&data=04%7C01%7Cjean.sorensen%40ottawa.ca%7C1714d5e93d1942d24a0408d922115d73%7Cdfcc033ddf874c6ea1b88eaa73f1b72e%7C0%7C0%7C637578280256757897%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Mta5JIvS5DFUveZzbEoABpwf7f77X4mT9AQ2kneBBXM%3D&reserved=0>
on March 17, 2021.

By increasing the number of weeks of benefits available under the Canada
Recovery Benefits and EI, the Government of Canada is continuing to support
Canadian workers through the next phase of the pandemic recovery.
Additional changes are also included under the legislation.

Attached you will find a handout in both official languages that includes
additional information and details about these changes. Please feel free to
share this message and the accompanying handouts widely across your

Bonjour,

Le présent courriel contient des informations importantes qui pourraient
vous concerner et/ou concerner les personnes que vous appuyez ou vos
employés.

Le gouvernement du Canada continue de modifier et d’améliorer ses
programmes et services afin d’aider les Canadiens, tout en respectant les
mesures de santé publique. Nous savons que pendant cette pandémie, les
Canadiens font des sacrifices difficiles, mais importants pour assurer leur
propre santé et sécurité, ainsi que celles de leurs familles et des
communautés partout dans le pays.

Afin de s’assurer que les Canadiens continuent d’avoir accès à l’aide dont
ils ont besoin pendant cette période, le gouvernement du Canada a introduit
des modifications législatives et réglementaires pour *augmenter le nombre
de semaines de prestations offertes dans le cadre des prestations
canadiennes de la relance économique et des prestations régulières
d’assurance-emploi*. Le projet de loi proposé, ou projet de loi C-24, a
reçu la sanction royale
<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Ffr%2Femploi-developpement-social%2Fnouvelles%2F2021%2F03%2Fc-24-royal-assent.html&data=04%7C01%7Cjean.sorensen%40ottawa.ca%7C1714d5e93d1942d24a0408d922115d73%7Cdfcc033ddf874c6ea1b88eaa73f1b72e%7C0%7C0%7C637578280256767891%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Hmax477LBh9UNEKymfeep8w1vA0dmBH9WV5ziB9%2BVY4%3D&reserved=0>
le 17 mars 2021.

En augmentant le nombre de semaines de prestations offertes dans le cadre
des prestations canadiennes de la relance économique et des prestations
d’assurance-emploi, le gouvernement du Canada continuera de soutenir les
travailleurs canadiens durant la prochaine phase de cette pandémie.
D’autres changements sont également prévus par le projet de loi.

Vous trouverez ci-joint un document dans les deux langues officielles qui
contient des informations supplémentaires à ce sujet. Nous vous invitons à
diffuser sans réserve ce message et les documents connexes dans vos réseaux
respectifs.
