We're deferring WCB Premiums and paying half the premiums for small and medium businesses when they come due, which means that they will save $350 million. That's a crucial savings for them and another way we're saving them costs. 2/8

We've also deferred corporate tax collection for six months to increase employers’ access to cash so they can pay employees, address debts and continue operations. This move will save businesses $1.5 billion. 3/8
