Mr. Kelly, I don't want to go back and forth on details, but a thousand applications per minute, when it comes to the Canada emergency response benefit, is what Canadian public servants have been processing. That's a thousand applications per minute. Prior to COVID-19, 45,000 applications per week were the norm. I understand that you want to see businesses supported. We all want to see businesses supported, but this is a monumental outcome and feat, really, that we have seen our public service carry out.
Have there been gaps? Can we respond even faster? Of course, we can do more, but let's look at ways forward and think about the best ways to proceed. There's been a lot that's been achieved.
As I said, I don't want to go into the details, but I'm straying in that direction myself.
Can you tell me your thoughts on rent and recommendations and what the CFIB would like to see? We just heard from restaurateurs. We heard from hospitality associations as well. What would be a good approach to rent, from the CFIB's perspective, to help small and medium-sized business owners?
