The Richmond Chamber of Commerce is encouraged by news of a federal subsidy for small and medium-sized businesses.

“Prime Minister Trudeau’s Friday morning announcements were good news to business and not-for-profits who are struggling in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic,” says chamber president and CEO Matt Pitcairn.

“The chamber network has been leading advocacy for the 75 per cent wage subsidy, as well as zero-interest loans and GST payment deferral. These are great initial steps and we’ll continue to work with all levels of government to get the necessary supports in place that can help businesses weather the storm.”

The City of Richmond’s Economic Development Office also tweeted “great news,” following the announcements.
