Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the committee members for welcoming me here today. Thank you to the witnesses.
I am sitting in for my colleague and dear friend Daniel Blaikie, who could not be here but sends his regards. He certainly has a keen interest and will be following up accordingly.
The questions that I have prepared today are in response to Ms. Sarangi and Campaign 2000.
Ms. Sarangi, welcome back to the finance committee. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us today.
In the 2022 pre-budget consultations—almost exactly a year ago now—Campaign 2000 spoke about the need for the CERB repayment amnesty for low-income Canadians. Now, in 2023, there is still no plan in place for this low-income repayment amnesty.
You referenced some of this in your opening remarks, but perhaps you could share with us what has changed since last year for low-income Canadians who are struggling with CERB debt.
