Thank you, senator. I want to begin by saying how sorry I am you had to go through such difficult experiences. That's surely not easy.
As I am the first person to ask questions today, I will raise the issue I brought up last time. I want all the witnesses to know that, at the NDP, we know this assistance is necessary to the parents of missing, murdered or gravely ill children. We entirely agree when it comes to that. However, we would like some amendments to be made so that this bill can have the best possible effect and so that as many parents as possible can benefit from it, as those situations are difficult for many people.
You talked about financial and psychological aspects. Parents need a great deal of assistance. Your association gives them a helping hand, which is very valuable and appreciated, I am sure. However, I would like to know if you think that $350 per week for 35 weeks is sufficient for a family with a much lower income. Do you think that can help a family with minimal savings survive?
