One of the things that keep coming up when I speak to business owners locally is that businesses are running out of money. We tend to call it liquidity in Ottawa and on this committee; we tend to call it money at home. There's a short-term and a medium-term crunch. I think in the long term people have faith that Canada is strong enough and we're going to get back on our feet. Everyone's optimistic that, five years from now, the economy will look roughly the way it would have looked had this not happened. The intervening period could come with a lot of pain if we don't have an effective policy response.
It sounds like some of the programs you're discussing today are great to solve the medium-term liquidity crunch, but while we're waiting for a $6.25-million loan or a wage subsidy, for that matter, do you have advice on what kinds of programs would support those businesses that are just trying to get that bridge between now and when these bigger allotments of funds to help with their liquidity or money come in?
