Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Reopening the Economy: Supports for Business

Mr. Danny McCoy:

Again, that is to the heart of it. Some of the features we talked about earlier included risk and insurance. Everyone needs to assess the risk base, including the State. The resources will have to go to viable businesses for viability. We need to see a business plan or have a realistic business plan to see what demand is like. To see what demand is like, we need to reopen. It all critically involves reopening and the issues we talked about in our submission.
