About the $500 one-time top-up payment to the Canada housing benefit, I feel like I have to always repeat this. This is on top of an existing permanent program called the Canada housing benefit, which is delivering an average of $2,500 to vulnerable renters right across the country, in every province and territory. The Canada housing benefit is working, but we recognize there are additional challenges. That's why the one-time top-up payment of $500 is very critical.
