Nash was on the West Coast today to speak with businesses and residents about their concerns after a plea for more support and a nearly $35 million wishlist to keep the communities afloat.
Nash has ruled out funding the entire request, especially the wage subsidy extension.
He said the government is working on a support package, but he would not be pushed on what or when.

A week ago the two communities sent Tourism Minister Stuart Nash a $35 million wishlist of what they need to survive.
Yesterday he visited Franz Josef with Rural Communities Minister Damien O Connor but didn t make any promises.
Across Country Quad Bikes used to run four fully booked tours a day, closing for a few months over winter after a hectic summer.
Manager Dora Falconer said international visitors made up nearly 80 percent of their business.
She remembers when 10 tour buses a day lined the main street and restaurants were full. With lockdown and everything that s been happening, there hasn t been so many people travelling so we are literally running at under 20 percent. So a massive hit.
