Queen’s Park and Ottawa are vowing to work together to help small businesses ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic. “For others who still need help, including … businesses worried about commercial rent, we’ll have more to say to you very soon,” Trudeau said Wednesday in Ottawa. The topic of rent relief for businesses owners will be among the topics Trudeau intends to discuss with premiers and territorial leaders Thursday. “I’ve talked to small business owners who don’t know if they’ll be able to maintain their business. I don’t know if they’re going to be able to reopen if they don’t get rent support for May 1, certainly not if they don’t get it by June 1.
