It's nice to see some of my colleagues back at the committee table again. I'm very pleased to be recommencing.
For the sake of our new members, at the finalization of my current comments, I would kindly ask that the clerk tell the HUMA members which studies were actually on the table.
I would also add to the comments of my colleague MP Falk that the world and the priorities of this committee need to change with what's been happening in our country. When we had those original debates, COVID wasn't really an issue. I think we need to re-examine what we're doing. We need to look very closely at the new benefits that were just announced by the Government of Canada and at some of the new housing initiatives that were just announced by the new government, and really strategically think about how our work on this committee is going to serve the well-being of Canadians, hold the government to account and ensure that we're doing the most for the people who brought us here.
I disagree with adopting all of the same studies that we had to achieve that end.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I hope that the clerk can provide us that quick update for the new members right now.
