Mr. Speaker, I heard the member say that small businesses are working hard to keep their doors open. I also heard the member say, in earlier comments, that businesses in his riding, such as hair salons, are looking for access to the Canada emergency business account that the government has put in place. As a reminder, these are $40,000 loans that are made available to small businesses interest free and guaranteed by the government, of which $10,000 is a grant if the remainder is reimbursed on time.
Is the member supportive of the changes we have made to the business account to make it more accessible, despite his comments about the deficit and the spending that our government is undertaking in response to the pandemic?
