Coronavirus: Ontario businesses say temporary commercial evictions ban only a start
Ontario government to hear their pleas for a temporary ban on commercial evictions, but some say the answer they’ve received doesn’t go nearly far enough.A provincial order to protect entrepreneurs from eviction for the next three months is a welcome move, said bar owner Christopher Hudspeth, but it doesn’t address the likelihood that many businesses will still be struggling at the end of the summer when it expires. “It’s a little late and only for a short period of time,” said Hudspeth, who owns Toronto’s Pegasus on Church.Ontario premier Doug Ford on Monday announced the eviction moratorium, which applies to small businesses who qualify for the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program (CECRA), where their revenues have dropped.
