Okay.
When the government launched the CECRA program.... Let me put it this way. In the transition from CECRA to the Canadian emergency rent subsidy, there was an additional provision added prohibiting related parties. Certainly nobody wants related parties to be able to game the system to obtain access to a subsidy, but it is normal for small businesses with commercial mortgages to have separate entities, a corporation that will own the property and have the mortgage on the property, versus the operating company. Small businesses complain that they are denied access to the rent subsidy program, which is supposed to also help businesses that own their premises.
Can someone explain whether or not this shortcoming has been addressed or whether this has been flagged as a problem? We've been hearing about it for months.
