Madam Minister, to clarify, I did not say that we should disregard the pandemic period.
My question is very clear. You have been asked several times why, in 2023, you did not consider the increase in applications, the cost of living, indexation and the circumstances that have changed since 2019. Funding for the program should have been increased in keeping with all those factors, but instead you came back with the pre-pandemic budget. Going back to the 2019 budget means going back in time after two years of the pandemic, so it is the status quo. In reality, however, it is no longer the status quo.
