The Government of Canada is currently providing funding through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) and Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”) programs in order to provide financial relief to Canadian businesses affected by COVID-19. The CEWS program provides a reimbursement of salaries for eligible employers based on a decrease in revenues. The CERS program provides a reimbursement of rent expenses paid by eligible parties based on a decrease in revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized CEWS of $0 (2021 - $21,704 ($27,534 CDN)) and CERS of $0 (2021 - $0) as a reduction in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
