I want to highlight some of the initiatives we have put forward to assist small businesses.
The Canada emergency wage subsidy covers 75% of the wages of employees, and that way they can maintain their jobs.
We've also put forward the enhanced work-sharing program. It's an option for businesses to pay their employees.
On top of that, I want to highlight the Canada emergency business account, which has issued 590,000 loans.
As the Minister of Finance recently mentioned, we've deferred GST and HST and customs duty payments for businesses for the next three months.
