if they are giving 75% to businesses that can show a 30% decrease in business of a benchmark month. Not sure how this is going to work as most alberta business have lost 30% in business over the last 1 1/2 years. Then if you havent it will take a few months to show this hit. And for businesses like mine for instance that i had 2 employees and they did a lot of the field work, now i laid one off and am doing more of that field work myself so keep the company afloat then working at office in the evening and weekends to make sure the work i did do is flowing. So it would take a while before i see a loss.
I can speak for the majority of businesses the owners, we cannot wait to see if we qualify and then have to wait for 3 more weeks to receive any assistance, that is much too late, we all ready let our employees go and we don't have any money left to rehire them and give them 25% of nothing. For the business that are hanging on they should of increased all from 10% subsidy to 30% immediately and then offered a program for the remainder to go up to 70% based on losses. We wont even see the first round of returns to our march 15 remittances until april 15. Some one needs to get there head out there ass here. Small shops wont survive this and need help now. When you write all the cheques for foreign help you send them immediately , now wake up and get your butt in gear.
aint gonna happen... Sockboy and his govt are oblivious to "real" canadians..... Period!
