Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here.

I have a question about the guaranteed income supplement. I'm talking about the special amount of $200, made available because of COVID-19. In a lot of cases, people applied well in advance but they never received that amount because Service Canada did not process the applications in time, that is before September 11.

Have you at Service Canada come up with any special measures to process those applications and rectify the situation? How much would that cost?
