Madam Chair, I will be splitting my time with the member for Windsor West.
As our economy starts to reopen, small businesses are forced to take on extra debt to adapt to the new normal. In just 10 days, their rent is due again and they will still need help. Although the CECRA has been extended, it has not been fixed. Just 12% of landlords have actually gotten rent relief for their commercial tenants.
Will the government fix this mess of a program and let tenants apply for the CECRA so their businesses can survive?
