We are certainly very disappointed by that situation. Those operators did everything they could to rebuild their businesses after the floods. They suffered large losses after the flood of 2019. We had several members of Parliament and others taking pictures with sandbags. That's great; we now need to move forward and actually support those operators.
They recovered somewhat after the flood, and then the pandemic hit. They were told that because they had no revenues when the flood was there, no, they would not be eligible. I have to say that the department officials I talked to were very sensitive to that situation. They just said they didn't have the authority to change that. It would require a change in the legislation to change that.
The BC Ferries case, as you mentioned, is a ministerial decision, but for the period that you qualify under, I think it's going to be a change in the legislation. We understand that several issues are there for that period of time, with small business start-ups, etc., and we understand that it could be part of a package of changes that you may see at one point. We hope that's done sooner rather than later.
