Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for the really important work you're doing for Canadians, especially during these difficult times.
I'm going to start with Mr. Polito.
I really appreciate your talking about food security. In my riding, many of the organizations benefited greatly from the emergency food security fund that came out at the beginning of the pandemic, and also the second round that came during the second wave. Now we're in the third wave and they haven't gotten a top-up. They are literally shutting down the program. The Bread of Life in my riding, the local Salvation Army and Lush Valley all relied on this funding for their warming centres and for food distribution to the most marginalized—their client base—which has grown significantly because of the pandemic.
Could you talk about how important it is that we get a third round out to these community organizations?
