The Federal Liberals are pledging millions more in Covid-19 financial relief for Indigenous businesses.
Today PM Justin Trudeau announced $133 million to protect jobs and help Indigenous communities weather the storm.
“Of this funding, $117 million will help small and community-owned Indigenous businesses get through this tough time,” he said.
The remaining $16 million will help Indigenous businesses in the tourism industry, a sector that supports thousands of jobs across the country.
More details on the announcement are expected to come later today.
Across the country, businesses are starting to reopen and rehire. And this morning, I’m giving an update on the work we’re doing to help you and your business as we restart our economy. Tune in now for the latest: https://t.co/QWqw6IDZZl
