Madam Chair, I would like to thank the minister for being so gracious. She extended that courtesy to the member for New Brunswick Southwest, so I was hoping she would extend it to me as well. I will expect that in the next few days.
The CEBA has a different metric, which is 0% interest on the commercial loans being provided. The ones provided through the BDC are actually commercial-rate loans for some of the larger producers in Alberta.
We are already seeing a 400,000-barrels-per-day reduction in production, and some forecasts say that the production in Alberta and western Canada will go down by one million barrels per day. We saw the incredible drop in the price of WTI today, but they expect it will bounce back tomorrow just a little bit.
For the BDC and EDC, I would like to know what definitions and timelines will be used to determine which businesses and operators will qualify for the loans.
