"Our government will give $500 million to Heritage Canada, to support those who work in the arts, culture, and sport sectors. Like the small businesses I was talking about, people and businesses in these sectors do not have access to some of the help we've announced because of how the companies operate, or how revenues are generated," Trudeau said.
"With this investment, people will be able to receive wage support, and organizations that are struggling with cash flow will be able to access financing," he continued.
"We continue to support those who've lost their jobs with the Canada Emergency Response Benefit." Trudeau said that so far, over 7.5 million payments have been made throughout the country.
The CERB was announced on March 25, and sent payments out to Canadians of up to $2000.
