I want to follow up on the GIS piece. I look forward to seeing a national seniors strategy soon, but I want to follow up on the GIS, because this is really the most pressing issue for many seniors in our country who are now at the point of being left out in the cold.

I want to talk specifically about how quickly that money can get on the ground. What could other MPs, other parties, do collectively over the next couple of weeks to get those payments out to seniors before May or June? What can we do together, collaboratively, to get those payments out ASAP?
