Summary Translation: The Liberal, Conservative, New Democratic and Green parties are all leaning on the 75 per cent federal wage subsidy program to keep staff on amid the COVID-19 crisis, CTV News has confirmed. The Bloc Québécois, however, has not applied and does not plan on applying, it says. The party is critical of the other major political parties for accessing the aid program. The NDP filed their application on Friday, and shortly afterwards, the Liberal Party of Canada, Conservative Party of Canada and Green Party of Canada confirmed they had applied as well. Both the Conservatives and Liberals have already received funding to allow them to keep paying their employees’ salaries after seeing political donations dry up. Conservative Party spokesperson Cory Hann told CTV News that the federal party — which is in the middle of a leadership race — is also accessing the program to help supplement the wages of its staff, which between full-time and part-time include around 60 people. “Like many Canadians, organizations, and not-for-profits, COVID-19 measures are having an impact on our team, party, and operations, and we’re doing our best to adjust to this new reality. This has meant incurring unexpected expenses that ensure our staff have the ability and technology to work remotely for an extended period,” Hann said.
