My question is for the person who just responded and it concerns the same topic.
I'm very concerned about access to the emergency benefits. In some remote areas, the Internet service is so slow that it prevents people from being able to register online. In Quebec, 20% of the population is illiterate, and 30% of the population is functionally illiterate. As we know, some older workers have no understanding of computers. All these people will have difficulty registering. However, the Service Canada offices are closed, and the telephone lines aren't working properly. There are even issues with the telephone lines for members of Parliament.
What's being done to fix this? How can we ensure that everyone who needs the emergency benefit can apply for it?
