Thank you for the question.
Given that we represent over 5,000 members, many of which are small and medium-sized businesses, there has been a call for an extension in repaying those CEBA loans. Many of the businesses that speak to us are working in a situation where they're also dealing with public safety concerns and crime. There are extra costs around vandalism, around theft and around keeping their employees safe. For them, the challenges they're facing are economic, but there's also been a significant public safety change over the last few years.
Any kind of additional help for those small and medium-sized businesses...and we're often talking about mom-and-pop operations, whether in hospitality or retail. An extension of the CEBA loan is something that would be very much appreciated.
