Thank you very much for that.
I'm certainly seeing in my riding and across the country so many people who are missing out. We've talked about the figures of those who have accessed the emergency benefit. There are millions of people who can't, and they are suffering. They're struggling to put food on the table. They're struggling to keep a roof over their heads. That is why Jagmeet Singh and others, like the 50 senators you mentioned, have proposed that this be a universal benefit. It's already constructed to be so; it's just that there are all these obstacles put in people's way.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Saul, you very eloquently spoke to the number of people being left behind, including international students, so my question will go to the two of you.
Would it not simply be easier to remove the barriers around the universal benefit so that international students and others who are jobless and struggling to put food on the table could access it?
First Mr. Brown, then Mr. Saul.
