How will local businesses be compensated for any income loss during the event?
The Payments on an Ex Gratia Basis Program addresses situations where the Government of Canada may consider making payments to commercial businesses, non-profit organizations and individuals to mitigate adverse financial consequences as a result of extraordinary security measures implemented at designated meetings hosted by Canada as part of its international obligations. A toll-free phone line, 1-877-750-6042, has also been set up to handle compensation-related inquiries.
