Canadian Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) Applications Now Open

Écrit par

Équipe fédérale

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the application process for the Canadian Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) is now open.

The program, delivered in partnership with provincial and territorial governments, will provide forgivable loans to landlords of 50% of monthly rent, with the expectation that landlords and tenants will each contribute 25%. The program applies to April and May (retroactive), and June rent.

CECRA is available for small businesses paying less than $50,000 per month in gross rent, with annual consolidated revenues of less than $2 million, and that have experienced at least a 70% drop in pre-COVID-19 revenues. Non-profit and charitable organizations are also eligible for CECRA.

Applications must be made through eligible property owners, not through the tenants.

To apply, visit the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) website.

The government released the following schedule for applications:

Monday, May 25: Property owners in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec, with up to 10 tenants who are eligible for the program.
Tuesday, May 26: Property owners in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Territories, with up to 10 tenants who are eligible for the program.
Wednesday, May 27: All other property owners in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the Territories.
Thursday, May 28: All other property owners in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec.
Friday, May 29: All property owners across Canada.

Canada’s Nuclear Renaissance, Continued

Canada unveiled its first-ever sectorwide Nuclear Energy Strategy, setting concrete build-out targets: up to 10 new domestic reactors by 2040, four new export markets by 2040, across a four-pillar plan covering domestic builds, exports, fuel/waste management, and fission/fusion innovation. The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.

Tout le nucléaire ne se vaut pas

Les centrales nucléaires traditionnelles à grande échelle ont démontré depuis longtemps qu'il est possible de produire de l'électricité fiable à grande échelle sans émissions directes de gaz à effet de serre. Elles fournissent une électricité stable et continue qui soutient les économies modernes tout en aidant les juridictions à atteindre leurs objectifs climatiques.
