On May 14, 2020, the Prime Minister announced the creation of measures to support Canada's fish harvesters who are feeling the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures are the Fish Harvester Benefit and Fish Harvester Grant.
The Fish Harvester Benefit offers income support to self-employed fish harvesters and sharepersons. The benefit covers up to 75% of income losses beyond a 25% threshold for the 2020 tax year when compared to 2018 or 2019. The maximum benefit is $ 10,164. The Fish Harvester Grant is a non-repayable grant to self-employed fish harvesters with a valid commercial fishing license in 2020 (issued by DFO or their Province or Territory for freshwater commercial harvesters). The Grant provides a maximum non-repayable support of up to $ 10,000, dependent on the level of the fish harvesters' historic fishing revenue in 2018 or 2019.
