I am jealous of your excellent French, Mr. Julian.
I agree with you that Canadians sorely need the support. It is good that we are discussing the bill today, but there are still steps that it has to go through, in the House of Commons and in the Senate.
I can assure you of two things. First, the Department of Finance and I will do everything we can to get this done as quickly as possible. Second, Canada Revenue Agency officials are prepared to make the payments as soon as we, in our role as legislators, have done our job.
It is important not to forget the role of the Senate and our colleagues in the Senate. I will not forget them.
