Alberta premier to announce more financial support for businesses during COVID-19 pandemic

Kenney promised more aid last week after his government introduced a new round of restrictions to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Retailers are limited to 15 per cent customer capacity and restaurants can only offer takeout or curbside service, although patios remain open.

The Opposition NDP says Kenney's government has failed for a year to properly manage economic supports, saying the money is always too little, too late.

He says restrictions on public gatherings need to be in place a bit longer until vaccination rates reach critical mass.
