    Petition for the Government to Accept Gross Income for CERB Eligibility
    Equity and its live performance coalition partners (IATSE, the Canadian Federation of Musicians (CFM) and the Associated Designers of Canada (ADC)) and other Arts and Culture worker associations continue to advocate the Government to retroactively allow self-employed Canadians to use their gross pre-tax income before business expenses when determining their CERB eligibility.

    There is currently a House of Commons petition calling on Government to acknowledge that Canadians who applied for the CERB in good faith should not be penalized for eligibility errors or misguidance that occurred on the part of the Government.

    Please consider signing this petition before January 23, 2021:

    Equity reassures members we will continue to advocate that this unfair situation is resolved as best as possible for our members.
