Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have gotten a clear view of the committee's will, so I will add to my initial comments. For clause 6, amendments were to the Canada Student Loans Act. This is regarding amendments to the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act.
I would implore committee members to override the chair's ruling on royal recommendation and also vote in favour of this amendment, since students are now being forced to pay for student loans because the government has ignored the all-party resolution that was adopted unanimously on November 24.
Let's look at this picture. Students who are crippled by debt are trying to pay back their loans at the same time as they're often struggling to get their families through the pandemic and put food on the table. This is something that simply doesn't mesh, I think, with the fairness and equity we want to see in this country. That's why I'm proposing this amendment to the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, to put in place that moratorium through the pandemic so that students are not paying back a government loan when they should be putting food on the table.
