I support the request to delay repayment for a year. Fewer of our business members are concerned, but this is nevertheless very hard for some of them. I think Mr. Lavigne emphasized the point that the current inflationary situation has made this delay necessary.

So I think this would be a way for the federal government to provide better support to the small businesses affected.
