Madam Chair, a constituent in my riding named Matthew fears the loss of his job. He works for a company that has a few franchises. In this new program proposed by the Liberals, they have placed a $300,000 cap on support provided to businesses. However, for companies that are franchises with a few locations, many rents can add up quickly and $300,000 does not cover them for very long or at all. Would the government consider increasing that cap?
