21. Government Assistance

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Canada was 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 provided a reimbursement of salaries for eligible employers based on a decrease in revenues. The CERS program provided a reimbursement of rent expenses paid by eligible parties based on a decrease in revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized CEWS of $125,812 ($157,866 CAD) and CERS of $13,628 ($16,974 CAD) as a reduction in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
