 Just this morning, I had a call with the other G7 leaders to discuss the pandemic. We all remain committed to doing whatever it takes to help people and our economies rebound after this crisis. We're working together to support international efforts to develop a vaccine, expand treatment, expand testing, and ensure that critical medical supplies get to the front lines. As I've said before, this is a global crisis, and it demands a global response. While we're doing everything to keep people safe in our respective countries, we also have to help more vulnerable nations fight this virus by providing more support for their health care systems, debt relief, and other forms of assistance. We will keep working together as partners to ensure the safety and health of people around the world. Over the past few weeks, our government has presented a series of measures to help people go through difficult times because of this pandemic. With emergency wages, we allow more people to continue to receive a salary, even if the company they work for has to slow down or stop their activities. With the Canadian emergency loan, we give $2,000 a month to those who can't earn their lives because of the virus. Yesterday, we announced that we would support the eligibility criteria to help more people get the help they need. If you're a seasonal worker, if you earn less than $1,000 a month, or if you recently exhausted your unemployment insurance, the emergency payment will be there for you. At the same time, we work with provinces and territories to improve the salaries of essential workers who earn less than $2,500 a month. Exilier nurses, helpers for elderly people, those who work hard to maintain a semblance of normality, do an extraordinary job, even if the conditions are more and more difficult. They not only deserve our recognition, but also our support. Tonight, I want to entertain myself with my colleagues from the provinces and territories during our meeting at Hebdomadaire. We will also talk about the ways in which we can better protect our seniors who are in nursing homes for elderly people at long-term care centers. Last night, the Minister of Public Security, Bill Blair, received an official request from the government of Quebec to lend a hand to health workers. We are working closely with Quebec to finalize an assistance plan, and we will have more news to share with you soon. But I can tell you that we will give them all the help possible by looking at the Canadian Red Cross, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the specialized volunteers who are registered to health care in Canada. We will always be there for Canadians in trouble. Another issue that often comes back during the meeting with the Prime Minister is the provisioning of medical equipment. I can confirm this morning that the government has finalized contracts with several Canadian companies, including Geometric Energy Corporation of Calgary, which will provide millions of health workers with millions of money. Later today, the Minister of Health will make an update on the latest development in provisioning. Over the past few weeks, we've rolled out a series of measures to get people the help they need as quickly as possible. As things evolve, we're hearing from Canadians who need more help, from businesses who need more support. No one should feel as if they're alone in this fight. Our government is here to help you through these challenging times. So when we hear their program is not reaching as many people as it should, we make changes. A few weeks ago, we launched the Canada Emergency Business Account to help small businesses struggling with cash flow. Under this program, banks are offering $40,000 loans, which are guaranteed by the government. To date, more than 195,000 loans have been approved. We're talking about more than $7.5 billion in credit to small and medium-sized businesses. It's a start, but ministering and others have heard from business owners who could really use this help but who do not fit the current admissibility criteria. So we're going to make some adjustments because we want to be there to support you. Today, we are expanding the Canada Emergency Business Account by both increasing and decreasing the eligibility threshold. Now, businesses who spend between $20,000 and $1.5 million in total payroll in 2019 will be eligible to receive a loan through the CEBA. That's businesses who've earned, businesses who spent between $20,000 and $1.5 million in total payroll in 2019 who will now be eligible. Business money entrepreneurs and employers can use to cover operational costs and help with other immediate needs. Businesses and commercial property owners are also facing specific challenges because of COVID-19, so we plan on introducing the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance. This program will provide support to help small businesses with their rent for the months of April, May and June. To implement this program, we have to work with the provinces and territories as they govern rental relationships, and we hope to have more details to share very soon. A few weeks ago, we installed the emergency account for businesses. It's a program that allows banks to offer guarantee loans of $40,000 to admissible businesses to help them with their liquidity problems. Until now, more than 195,000 loans have been approved. We're talking more than $7.5 billion in loans for small and medium-sized businesses. It's a start, but the Minister and others spoke to several employers who need this financial help but who are not admissible to the program at the moment. So, today, we've extended the emergency account for businesses by increasing and decreasing the amount of admissibility. Now, businesses having spent between $20,000 and $1.5 million in wages in 2019 will be able to offer a demand to obtain a guarantee loan. It's funding that entrepreneurs and employers will be able to use to meet their needs for liquidity and other immediate expenses. In addition, businesses and business owners face special difficulties because of COVID-19. Our government intends to introduce Canada's emergency aid to the commercial lawyer. This time, we will provide support to help small businesses with their lawyer for the months of April, May and June. To set up this program, we have to collaborate with provinces and territories since they are responsible for managing everything that the lawyer needs and we hope to have more details soon. Over the past few weeks, we've all had to get used to this new normal. It's been snowing in some places this week, including here in Ottawa, because that's just what 2020 brings. But we hope that the weather will get nicer. As time goes on, staying home and not seeing friends is going to be even more difficult. We're going to miss our colleagues, our friends, our neighbours and our parents even more than we do now. But we have to be disciplined. We must stay the course. We cannot let the progress we've made go to waste. And above all, we cannot put lives at risk. So let's keep following public health recommendations. Wash your hands. Stay home as much as possible. And if you do go out, be sure to stay at least two metres away from others. If we persist and persevere, I know that we will prevail. Once again, thank you all for joining us.
