Thanks very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the officials.

I have a constituent who was hoping to apply for the student CERB. However, she makes $1,040, so she's $40 over the limit. Is there any flexibility at all with respect to the application process here, or does she have to turn down her job? She has part-time work and is making $1,040. Will she have to turn down that job in order to qualify for the student CERB?
