I'll start with the Chamber of Commerce. As a former executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, I first want to thank all of you for the work you're doing and for the hard work you've done throughout the pandemic. We have six chambers in my riding. They've been instrumental in supporting their membership and our local economy.
Ms. Drigola, I'm going to direct my attention to you, since you're representing the small business side of things.
The recent CEBA loan has obviously been life-saving for many small businesses. We've seen the government expand it to $60,000. With the third wave now happening and many businesses under more shutdowns, we're putting forward a pitch to the government to expand that by another $20,000, another $10,000 forgivable portion and extending the repayment timeline to 2025.
Do you think that extension would make a difference right now for small business owners?
