Trudeau announces $350M support fund for community groups helping vulnerable people

Emergency funding will help charities assist the growing number of people affected by pandemic, reports CBC.

Brian Dijkema, Cardus Vice President of External Affairs, tells CBC that a dollar-for-dollar matching program would be more equitable and easier to administer. 

"As the government crafts the next stages of support for the most vulnerable in Canada, it should pursue a matching model that leverages its financial capacity to encourage all Canadians to support their fellow citizens," he said.
