What is the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) and does it help retailers?

The CERS was a federal rent and property expense support program established to help businesses affected by COVID-19.  If eligible, retailers would have received direct support from the federal government. The CERS program ended on October 23, 2021, but retroactive application remains available.
