We don't have specific data on the number of companies that would be affected. The only data we have is for companies that have applied. You have to go back and look at the applications for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy that have been made. We know the number of companies and public corporations that have received the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. That can give you an idea of the scope. However, the data does not indicate whether the companies paid dividends. We don't know that.
What we do know is that public corporations represent a small percentage of the employers who received the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, just 0.4%. As for the amount of the payment relative to the wage subsidy base, the percentage is clearly higher: it is 9.6%.
Once again, that's an overall picture. The number of companies that paid dividends is even smaller. That's a small world.
Clearly, you want to know what the data is and our view on the measure going forward. As I said, we don't know who will apply. We don't know the future, but the past data gives us an idea of the extent to which companies might be affected in the future.
