Mr. Speaker, one thing we recognize is that small business in Canada is the backbone of our Canadian economy in all regions of our country. That is one of the reasons we developed, during the pandemic, programs such as loan supports, rent supports and wage loss supports, because we understand the importance of small businesses to Canada. The minister will continue to work with small businesses to ensure that we are there to have their backs and protect jobs into the future.

Mr. Speaker, we announced a bit of an extension just recently. We are very aware of the pains that small businesses are experiencing, in good part, because of the pandemic. As I said, as a government, whether it has been reducing taxes for small business or being there to support them in regard to what I made reference to in terms of rent subsidies, wage losses and CEBA loans, the Government of Canada is there for small business. We recognize just how important it is to our economy in all regions of our country.
