British Columbia has announced a $5 billion economic stimulus package to help people deal with the fallout of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The package includes $2.8 billion for people, including renters, and $2.2 billion for businesses. In a news conference last week, Horgan said he’s heard three things on people’s minds: their paycheques, their job security, and major expenses such as rent or mortgage payments.
