Thank you very much to the honourable minister.
You will note that on April 15, I provided your ministry with a letter requesting that you provide information on how individuals who are not able to file their taxes by the June 1 date can ensure that their supplementary income supports, such as the GIS, the GST, child tax benefits and other associated provincial benefits are not cut off as a result. In my letter, I recommended that you consider extending the deadline once again, until the fall, and that the federal government extend the current benefit payments until October 2020, based on the 2018 income filings.
Can you comment on that? In our office, we process hundreds of these through our volunteer tax clinics, and many people are at risk of getting cut off from those significant monthly income supports.
