I sure am.

I spoke to the substance of the bill, the measures that are really important, personally important for me and for all of us, but it is really relevant to talk about how long it's taking to get this support to Canadians.

The purpose of Bill C-14 is to provide assistance to Canadians who need it during a difficult and unprecedented period. It should not be used for political advantage.

I urge this committee to conduct its examinations expeditiously and to join me in supporting the speedy passage of this essential legislation.

Thank you.
