Thank you very much.
Good evening, everyone.
You have answered some of my questions. I had some questions about the wage earner protection program.
The minister also talked about that and the extension of the deadline. I understand that this budget has a cap. Please confirm if I understood it correctly.
However, our concern is that a lot more workers may be taking advantage of it because of COVID-19. It is estimated that, in Quebec alone, 18,000 SMEs are at risk of bankruptcy, hence the bill we introduced yesterday to protect pension funds if necessary.
However, this is not what the wage earner protection program provides for.
Can you tell us how many workers have registered in the program because of the pandemic and because of bankruptcy situations this year? Were there more than usual? Do you know how many?
