Mr. Chair, I can provide the first part of the response. My colleagues at the Department of Finance may want to elaborate.
In this case, as has been discussed, these very targeted benefits apply to one‑time lockdown situations and can absolutely apply to self‑employed people. This helps extend access to supports for these workers who wouldn't necessarily have access to other income supports should they face a significant loss of income or need to stop working.
Other work under way involves consultations and analyses to find solutions to help self‑employed people. In terms of employment insurance, for example, commitments have been made. This plays an integral role in the consultations. However, this goes beyond the scope of today's discussion. I'm simply saying that other work is being done in addition to the work being presented.
