EDMONTON- The United Conservative Party is applying for help from the federal emergency wage subsidy program.
Director of communications Evan Menzies says the UCP has lost fundraising events due to restrictions on gatherings, and the alternative is to lay off their eight staff and have them apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit or Employment Insurance.
Alberta’s New Democratic Party says it has not had to apply for the federal emergency wage subsidy for its eight employees.
On Friday, it came to light that four of the country’s federal parties were also applying for the wage subsidy.
