Mr. Speaker, I can reassure my colleagues that we are here for small businesses. We have already given small businesses an extra year to access the forgivable part of the loan. They asked for more help, so we gave them more flexibility to refinance, more time to access loan forgiveness and a one-year extension of the repayment deadline.

Mr. Speaker, we have already given small businesses an extra year to qualify for the forgivable portion of the loan. Since they asked for more help, we are offering them more flexibility on refinancing, more time to access loan forgiveness and a one-year extension on the repayment deadline. We are always there for our small businesses, unlike the Conservative leader, who wants to take us back to the Stone Age.
