Hello, Minister. Thank you for appearing before the committee.
I also want to express my thanks and appreciation to all the officials who have joined the committee's virtual meeting.
Yesterday, the government announced the COVID-19 regional relief and recovery fund. With the other programs it's announced so far, the government started by presenting the terms. In this case, however, it announced the total amount. For Quebec, it's $211 million.
Should I take this to mean that the program will be first-come, first-served, so SMEs need to hurry up and apply?
