Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced on Thursday a new financial support program for small businesses affected by the spread of COVID-19 in the province, called the Saskatchewan Small Business Emergency Payment.
The program provides a one-time payment for businesses based on 15 per cent of their monthly sales revenue, to a maximum of 5,000 dollars.
Eligible businesses must have been fully operational at the end of February and must commit to reopen once the restrictions are lifted.
