Sure. I'll go as fast as I can.
The federal support programs were absolutely 100% crucial to our survival. Nine out of 10 food services' businesses relied on, for example, the wage and rent support subsidies to help them survive the pandemic. It was absolutely crucial for us to even make it as far as we did, and it was thanks to these programs.
The subsidies were of particular use and utility to us because taking out loans to pay down loans is the worst kind of snake eating its own tail, which is why so many businesses are now facing that mountain of debt I spoke of.
To my knowledge, some countries have instituted similar loan repayment policies. I wouldn't be able to speak to the percentages of subsidies offered. I will, though, mention that other jurisdictions have invested in economic revival, demonstrating first and foremost how great it is to go out and eat in a restaurant again. That type of intangible leadership is something that we've seen percolate in other countries across the world.
I welcome you all to go to sit on a patio again.
