Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll direct my questions to Mr. Kelly, as well as the witnesses from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
One of the issues with the wage subsidy is that the claim period overlaps the reference period. In other words, the claim period that is coming up begins in mid-April and ends in mid-May, and what that would require is businesses to keep employees on their payroll for April without fully knowing whether they in fact would qualify for a wage subsidy as a result of a 30% decline in their revenues. Do you share this concern?
