I'm going to go back to the CEBA loan. I want to understand this. Right now, it's projected that there's going to be $21.6 billion paid out to highly paid consulting companies, and let's face it, six of those highly paid, profitable companies are going to benefit the most.
I did the math. It would cost $904 million for the government to help protect 250,000 businesses, which closed their doors to protect public health, by extending the CEBA loan for one year. The math says that's about a 4.2% cut to highly paid outsourcing that would be required to cover the CEBA loans. Does it sound about accurate to you that, if we cut outsourcing by 4.2%, it would cover the costs of helping to save 250,000 businesses? A third of those businesses have identified that they cannot borrow from the bank, and they will not be able to pay the loan and will lose the one-third forgivable portion.
