Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the officials for making themselves available today. I want to direct my questions to the finance officials.
My question relates to the wage subsidy and, in particular, when the portal will be up and running. It was on April 1 that the Minister of Finance provided details of the new enhanced wage subsidy. It was at that time that a timeline of three to six weeks was provided. Two weeks ago, the minister appeared before this committee, and he indicated, or at least officials indicated, that they were optimistic it would be closer to three weeks rather than six weeks that the portal would be up and running. By this time next week, it will be more than three weeks, so I want to ask the officials whether small businesses can look forward, at this time next week, to being able to apply through the portal.
