The federal minister in charge of regional economic development says more needs to be done to help companies in the centre of Canada's biggest cities so they can stay open through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Melanie Joly says cities like Toronto and Montreal continue to bear the brunt of the pandemic, with case numbers fuelling restrictions that have kept workers home and businesses closed.

Nor will it happen at the same time and rates across various regions, with the oilpatch in the West likely suffering longer if oil prices don't fully rebound. As Joly put it in an interview this week, it will be like coming out of the "fog of war" during the early days of the pandemic towards a reopening and recovery.

Federal coffers contribute $50 million to the program, while the province is kicking in $7.65 million.
