Thank you. It's clear.
The second case that I want to share concerns a start-up that seems to be falling through the cracks. The person invested $1.6 million to launch their restaurant, which was scheduled to open in mid-March. To date, the business has incurred major expenses, including the lease, the cost of hiring a number of employees, and the perishable food supply, which constitutes a total loss. I believe that the full $1.6 million was spent. However, there don't seem to be any measures in place to help that business. It can't obtain the $40,000 loan because there were no wages to compare for the months in question, or even in January and February of this year. This also prevents the business from receiving the Canada emergency wage subsidy.
Does a program exist for this person, who is launching their business? Again, they invested $1.6 million in their business. The person doesn't seem entitled to any type of support measure.
Thank you.
