“In a context of economic difficulties, the continuity of the emergency aid program for SMEs is crucial, said Luc Rabouin, the city councillor on the economic and commercial development file. With the second lockdown, our businesses need this extended financial helping hand. These sums will allow them to have quick access to liquidity, one of the critical elements for the survival of many businesses. “Montreal plays a leading role in the Quebec economy and, currently, many of its companies are going through difficult times because of the pandemic, said Quebec Minister of the Economy and Innovation Pierre Fitzgibbon. We want to support them, as we have done since the start of the crisis. The financial improvement that we are announcing today for businesses in the metropolis will allow us to continue our commitment to our business communities and to adjust the support we offer them according to the real needs of our entrepreneurs.
