Mr. Speaker, the federal government cannot let 250,000 businesses go bankrupt without trying to save them.
Everyone is asking the government to defer repayment of the CEBA loans for another year without losing the subsidy. All the premiers agree on this, including the premier of Quebec and the premiers of the other provinces, as well as the National Assembly, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Association Restauration Québec. The federal government's inaction is leading us to a wave of bankruptcies.
When will the government finally offer SMEs an adequate deferral of repayment?
