Madam Speaker, it is interesting to hear the member speak about the programs the government has rolled out and all of the help it is trying to provide, but this week my office has been working with a constituent who is unable to access the emergency rent subsidy program because of the limitations that have been put around it. The program is not for people who rent through a family relationship. In this case, the father owns the building and the daughter and son-in-law pay the rent and have for years. It is a business transaction, but they are unable to access the program because it was not designed properly. Its limitations are putting small business at risk.
When will the government come up with a plan that really helps the small business owners who are falling through the cracks?
