Mr. Chair, my questions for this round will relate to the wage subsidy program and will be for the Minister of Finance.
My first question is this. Many businesses have cyclical revenues. Consider, for example, many businesses in the tourism industry. Obviously, the details conveyed in this bill will compare off-season months for many of those businesses. Will the government think about possibly changing the criteria to include businesses that will be affected by the COVID-19 crisis but for whom it would not be appropriate to use those months for comparison purposes?
I also have a follow-up question. If such changes were made, could it be done through regulations or would we have to recall the House to amend the criteria?
