Mr. Speaker, once again, this government is standing alone against everyone else, and this is threatening the survival of 250,000 businesses. Everyone is asking the government to defer repayment of the CEBA loans for another year without losing any grants. All the premiers, the premier of Quebec and the premiers of the provinces and territories, as well as the National Assembly, which voted unanimously, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the Association Restauration Québec, everyone—except the federal government—is on the same side, that of entrepreneurs. When will the government get on the same page as everyone else and defer repayment, as everyone is calling for?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Halifax West for all her hard work. Our government understands very well that students and recent graduates need financial support. That is exactly what we have done. We recently announced that interest on federal student loans would be forgiven. This saves young people nearly $410 a year. Our government has always been there for Canadians. I would like to point out that the Conservatives voted against these measures. Shame on them.
