Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm delighted to be part of this meeting. It has been a very interesting conversation.
My question, through you, is for the Minister of Finance.
I would like to circle back to something my colleague Mr. Deltell raised with the minister earlier in the meeting. It has to do with the eligibility of dividends as payroll to be eligible for the $40,000 CEBA loan. My understanding is that they are not currently.
I thought I heard the Minister of Finance say, though, that they were. I would like a simple answer. Can business people who pay themselves solely in dividends be eligible? Are they eligible for the CEBA or are they not? It's a yes or no question.
