The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton (Simcoe North, CPC)): The honourable Minister of Industry Hon. Navdeep Bains: Mr Chair I would like to thank the honourable member for his question I want to highlight the fact that we did make an amendment When we originally proposed this initiative the threshold was 30 for the month of March Now businesses will only need to show a 15 decline in revenue and businesses will have the option of using January and February as a reference period to show revenue losses or of using the same time last year This reflects again our ability to understand the needs of businesses to act quickly and to make sure that they benefit from this very important initiative Mr. Larry Maguire: They still do not qualify Mr Chair The Blarney Stone restaurant in Killarney has repeatedly asked the Minister of Finance if they could refinance their loans through the Canada small business financing program Will the Minister of Finance give small business owners the ability to refinance their existing loans through the program yes or no ? Hon. Navdeep Bains: Mr Chair again we have demonstrated flexibility and nimbleness when it comes to these financing options I would also like to highlight another very important initiative that was mentioned earlier the deferring of GSTHST and customs duty payments for businesses for the next three months This will help 32 million business owners and entrepreneurs across the country Again it is another initiative to put more money in the pockets of businesses as they deal with this unprecedented health care crisis Mr. Larry Maguire: Mr Chair the Liberals still have not fixed the payroll eligibility problems for many small business owners who need to access the zerointerest loans available in CEBA Can the minister provide any rationale for why countless small businesses are not being allowed to access these loans ?
Bains said that the threshold for the program had been lowered to a 15% decline in revenue from a 30% decline. Businesses will also be able to compare losses to more recent time periods due to greater flexibility. Bain clarified that the government is listening to businesses and recognizes its need to be agile.

If so given the current inconsistencies how can quality be assured ? Julie Morgan AM: We are developing a more integrated approach towards the early years As I have said we are trying to have the foundation phase operating in more nonmaintained settings and we are already developing that But Estyn and CIW will continue to inspect and regulate the early years sector to ensure standards and since January 2019 CIW and Estyn have moved to joint inspections for the nonmaintained settings that are offering the foundation phase So that is a very positive move I think and is absolutely making sure that standards are maintained because if we are having the foundation phase in nonmaintained settings that is a challenge where we want to be sure that the standards and the philosophy of the foundation phase are maintained So we have got the system of inspection to ensure that

#Person1#: What do you think are the most important things to do when running a business? #Person2#: Well, there are several things. Of course, you must do everything you can to keep costs down and revenues high. #Person1#: So, do you think workers should be paid as little as possible? #Person2#: No. if you do that, the workers won't like their jobs. They will be less efficient and you will get a high staff turnover. Those things will increase you costs. #Person1#: How can a business maximise revenues? #Person2#: You need to invest in some good advertising. You have to know where your potential customers are and target them. It's no good trying to sell computer games to older people. The market is too small. #Person1#: What else do you suggest? #Person2#: Find out what other companies charge for the same products or services. Price yourself near the low end. Don't be much cheaper than everyone else, because many customers distrust very cheap things. They think that is must be poor quality if it's that cheap.
#Person2# gives #Person1# advice on running a business such as paying the workers decently, advertising, and pricing on the low end but not too cheap.
