"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that students and recent graduates who have seen their education and job prospects hampered by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will be able to apply for the Canada Emergency Student Benefit as of Friday. He also used his daily address to encourage struggling rural small businesses to reach out to their regional economic development agency for help.

He's encouraging those who haven't already signed up for an account through the Canada Revenue Agency to do so in advance, so that funds might reach them quicker.

Under the Canada Emergency Student Benefit, eligible applicants will receive $1,250 a month from May to August. For those who have a disability, or are taking care of someone else, they will receive $2,000, which is equal to the amount received by those eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)"
