We got feedback in committees about how we could improve the program. Small businesses are another stakeholder in this whole process, and we needed to reach out to them in the same way that, at the beginning of COVID-19, we asked them what we could do differently, whether the measures taken had been effective and, if not, how we could improve them.</p>",

Les comit\u00e9s nous ont dit comment nous pouvions am\u00e9liorer le programme. Les petites entreprises font aussi partie du processus, et nous devions nous adresser \u00e0 elles, tout comme nous leur avons demand\u00e9, au d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie, ce que nous aurions pu faire autrement, si les mesures prises avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 efficaces et, dans la n\u00e9gative, comment nous pouvions les am\u00e9liorer.</p>"
