Federal and Provincial governments: can you please clarify that you DID NOT issue a moratorium on evictions in your announcements on rent yesterday? People believe you did, and this is very dangerous. Must fix ASAP. @CFIB @loveretail @mary_ng @fordnation @Bill_Morneau #CECRA

The #CECRA approach calls for agreements between landlords and tenants to prevent evictions FOR TENANTS WITH CECRA AGREEMENTS ONLY. Nothing whatsoever for anyone else. Tenants are very confused and think they have protection that they do not.

Alternatively, you could issue a blanket moratorium on commercial evictions, as the UK did on March 24th and Australia did on March 29th to protect their small community businesses, and then no clarification would be necessary. This would be even better.

@GordJohns

In case you think this misunderstanding is not widespread, the host of the CBC show who had me on as a guest yesterday said, mistakenly, that there was a moratorium on evictions announced yesterday. The way you worded the announcement was clearly misleading and must be corrected
