Effective immediately, int'l students in 🇨🇦 are able to work more than 20 hrs per week while classes are in session if they are working in an essential service or function such as health care, the supply of food or other critical goods: https://t.co/whLATWiDTA

Our JobMaker plan is ambitious because it has to be. We’re going to get Australians back into jobs and restore the country’s finances. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again, together.
More than 300 million people globally will be out of work, and more than 30 million people will be pushed into extreme poverty, because of COVID-19. As a country where people’s jobs depend on economies around the world, and as Canadians, we must do all that we can to help out.
If you’re working to keep our families healthy and our country moving, but you’re making minimum wage, you deserve a raise. So we’re providing the provinces and territories up to $3 billion to increase your wages - and we’ve reached agreements to get this money to you.
We’ve been working closely with the premiers on commercial rent relief, the wage increase we announced today, and more. On our call this evening, @cafreeland and I spoke about what more we can do together to support you as we continue with our Team Canada approach.
Our 3 step roadmap to a COVIDSafe Australia with our aim to get through these steps and get Australia working again in July this year.
States and territories will set their own pace and decide the timings for each step.

In the fight against COVID-19, your health and safety will always be our top priority. This is a global challenge and we need to defeat this virus wherever it’s found. That’s why, earlier this morning, Canada joined other countries to launch the Coronavirus Global Response.
Our Government is focused on the economic recovery after this virus has passed. This $215m investment to support Australian manufacturing businesses deliver 200 job-creating projects across the country will be a key part of that recovery.
I talked to Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP earlier today. We spoke last month about COVID-19 and agreed to stay in touch as the situation evolved in Canada, in Australia, and around the world. For a summary of what we talked about today, click here: https://t.co/Iz8BuEnAim
