Today, Prime Minister Trudeau announced $9 billion in measures to support students including: a plan to create 76,000 student jobs, the Emergency Student Benefit to help students who cannot find jobs due to COVID-19 and funding to support students doing COVID-related volunteer work. These measures announced today are in addition to the additional Canada Summer Jobs funding, as well as Canada Student Loans payment deferrals.

Implementation of the three mechanisms will require legislation.
