10. INCOME TAXES

As at March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of C$3.6 million ($2.8 million) against deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) incurred during the quarter in its Canadian entity as the Company’s Canadian entity has experienced cumulative losses in recent years (December 31, 2020 – C$6.6 million or $5.2 million). Although earnings were positive in 2019, ongoing near-term uncertainties on the business caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decline in business activity impacted the Canadian entity’s ability to generate earnings. Accordingly, it is not more likely than not that the Canadian entity’s DTAs will be utilized in the near term.
