Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm hearing from small business owners like Joel, who runs a fitness club here in Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge, and is very concerned that their landlords refuse to participate in the rent assistance program. These businesses have seen revenue drops between 50% and 100% and are asking for just 25% off their rent.
When will the government help small businesses whose landlords refuse to be team players during this pandemic?
