The federal government announced (on October 9, 2020) a new rent relief program for businesses that continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The long-awaited program is called the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS). The announcement came slightly more than a week after the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) relief period ended (on September 30, 2020).
