I usually don't pump the partisan NDP, but I was really proud that our party negotiated the wage benefit from 10% to 75%.

One of the other concerns that have been raised, certainly about support for business, is that many people who have applied are still waiting for their benefit. There's a huge lag time for receiving the benefit. Is this something you've heard about, long wait times for receiving benefits?
