Cannan says priority is to support people not necessarily businesses
"We need to get out of the Covid view that government has to support everyone in all business sectors", according to the chief minister.
It's after a large number of local businesses have had to close their doors since the pandemic and the current cost of living crisis.
Alf Cannan was asked whether there should be more help available in these challenging financial times.
He told Manx Radio focusing on the priorities in the Island Plan will ultimately make the biggest difference:
House of Keys officially dissolved
Students collecting A-Level results
Further TT course closures for filming
Aspects of Manx Grand Prix 'extremely challenging' to organise
