My question is for Andrew Marsland, from the Department of Finance.
The wage subsidy is for businesses whose revenues have decreased by 30% compared to the same month last year. However, this measure immediately excludes young businesses that didn't exist last year, businesses that experienced strong growth in the past year and many start-ups, even though their work activity just dropped by 30%.
Yesterday, at the briefing with the officials, we heard that the criteria would be applied in a flexible manner. No specific details were provided. However, people won't take back their staff until they know for sure that they're eligible.
In practical terms, how will this program apply to these businesses?
