Manitoba premier says agenda to include paid sick leave for those with coronavirus “(B.C.) Premier (John) Horgan and I worked very, very hard to get all the premiers on side … and we got every premier to agree that this was something we needed to do; we had to develop a plan to do it.”There was no mention of any changes to the federal Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB), which pays $500 per week ($450 after taxes) for up to four weeks for anyone required to quarantine because of COVID-19.Pallister said he hopes the prime minister will talk about this in the coming days.“I’m not suggesting that everyone should make money off being sick, that’s not what I mean … but I do think a national sick leave program is the right solution.” Doug.
