Hi, and thank you for coming today, Minister.
I was really disappointed, as my colleague from the Bloc was speaking about, that the government refused to extend the CEBA repayment deadline for loan forgiveness. This is after the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Canadian Women's Chamber of Commerce, every premier and the NDP called for that.
Why did you not listen to the main business organizations across the country when they said it was very clear that this would be devastating for small business?
