Sorry, but I just would like to first address some of your comments.
I did watch the minister this morning. We are very glad that this is on the radar. We've been working on our advocacy since August.
I've also traced some of the comments from this government, and what I've heard Minister Qualtrough say is that they have to look at “fairness and equity”. I put that in my statement. Let's talk about which seniors we're talking about. These are the poorest seniors, who are living near or around the poverty line. These are not OAS-receiving seniors who did not have a clawback until they hit $80,000. These are the seniors who, once they get one dollar of CERB, are clawed back at 50%, and they are already on the poverty line.
My fear is that what will be corrected is that we're going to have a one-time payment. That's what I meant by this needing to be systemically addressed. There's an easy way to fix this—
