There's an even more dire view of CERB or more precisely the economy as a whole... I have heard there are businesses that are really struggling with paying their employees wage.
They could no longer sustain the business (they need people to open, but yet most opening won't make enough to pay all the expenses if wages were included) and was laying off all employees and call it quit on the business.
After they sat down to discuss with their employees, employees didn't want to be laid off in a time like this because god knows when they'd be able to find work in this environment.
So the proposition was they would basically cheat on CEWS AND CERB and keep the business open by claiming only enough to qualify for either or both of the programs and let the government pay majority of the wage, but the employees would come to work and employers would keep their business open.
It's cheating alright... but IMHO, a necessary evil. I honestly don't see the reasoning to go after these cases... because if they closed, CERB would have to pay anyway. And if they did close, there would more issue for the gov't to worry about and less revenue to collect (taxes)
