Pierre has some issues with his phone so I'll take his time. Thank you for that.
I will direct my questions to the finance officials. I want to follow up on an issue that I have been raising over the last couple of meetings, and that is with respect to credit unions. I know that there is an expedited process in place to get credit unions on board in terms of being able to provide the CEBA to their clients. Last week it was stated that there was an anticipated timeline that, by the end of the weekend, a number of credit unions would be on board. I looked at the EDC list of approved lenders today and I don't see that the list has been expanded. I was wondering if any of the officials could provide an update in that regard.
It's a critical issue because right now in Alberta literally 40,000 small businesses are shut out.
