Thank you so much, MP Masse. It's wonderful to see you. You and I used to serve on that committee together, so it's even more wonderful to get a question from you.
Right from the very beginning, we wanted to be sure that this support and fixed cost, in particular rent...because we know how big an expenditure that is for businesses every single month, and with revenues going down, how difficult it was going to be for them.
I just want to remind everyone that, of course, rent is not an area of federal responsibility, but rather one where we must work with our partners at the other orders of government, which we did.
I think what Canadians will see, and colleagues will see, is that we have listened, and continue to listen, to businesses. We are working with our colleagues on all sides of the House so that we are adapting.
What we have right now is, of course, the new rent subsidy bill, which means that businesses can apply directly and get this really important support, where they'll get 65%...and if they are locked down because of public health measures, they will get an additional 25% of lockdown support. This is direct support to them.
