Full Disclaimer DARRYL DYCK/The Canadian Press The B.C. government promised in September that relief was finally on the way for small- and medium-sized businesses struggling due to the pandemic. To date, just $10-million of the promised $345-million aid package has been delivered. Businesses - especially in hospitality and tourism - have been begging for assistance since restrictions designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 began in the province last March. The money was approved by the legislature that month, but the program details were not announced until September. The criteria for applying were posted on Oct. 9, but the snap election derailed the rollout. By the time the dust settled and a new cabinet minister was appointed to deal with the mess, it was almost the end of 2020.
