I have a last quick question.

I know the CFIB has reported that the average small business took on about $170,000 in new debt during the pandemic, and many have shut or scaled down as a result. With this new debt, are you concerned that hikes in costs for things like CPP payroll tax increases and carbon tax increases earlier this year will put even more businesses on the edge?
