Madam Chair, there is another case from the tourism industry. Two employees of the beautiful Maplewood Manor in Waterloo, the owner and the operator, pay themselves dividends instead of salaries. All events scheduled for the summer of 2020 have been cancelled, a loss of $60,000. They cannot get the $40,000 loan, and they do not want it anyway because they do not want to pay a loan with a loan. They cannot get the Canada emergency response benefit; it would not really help their business anyway.
This manor is considered a jewel of the Eastern Townships’ tourism industry.
