You're referring to the Canada emergency business account. We're requesting that repayment of that loan be delayed for at least a year. Our colleagues at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other economic associations have also made that request.
It's important for us that this extension be granted in the present inflationary situation that is already putting enormous pressure on businesses. We are of course aware that all businesses must repay their loans, but doing so appears to be particularly difficult for many of them, which would have been in a relatively sound position had it not been for the present situation.
The current circumstances are the reason why we're requesting that repayment the delayed. We think it would be wise to delay it by a year.
