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 six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized CEWS of $0 (2021 - $51,606 ($63,905 CDN)) and CERS of $0 (2021 - $4,971 ($6,000 CDN)) as a reduction in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
