That was when St. John's experienced what we call \u201cSnowmageddon\u201d, with over 30 inches of snow and lockdowns comparable with those in the pandemic.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6335575\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the government offer flexibility in the application of this wage subsidy program so that businesses, like those in my riding and across the country, can qualify?</p>",
