What the petition asks
Help with financial aid for people losing hours and jobs due to the virus outbreak. People working in tourism, hospitality, retail and self employed sectors who are unable to work from home and who are not being financially supported through their businesses during this massive loss in revenue.
Will help stop a financial crisis and a massive recession. Will support the public during a difficult time where families are already struggling. Sectors that people are unable to work from home should be supported by the employer or if not possible, the government.
