That's perfect. I very much appreciate your answer.
What I understand is that the government is stuck with a big problem right now. The Employment Insurance Act cannot be reformed because of computer problems. At Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, work visa applications can't be processed fast enough and bring in needed foreign workers, again because of computer problems.
Now, you're telling me that because of computer problems and your antiquated computer system, it is impossible to accelerate a single payment to vulnerable seniors whose benefits were unfairly slashed. Very sincerely, as an MP and a social worker for seniors, I find that unacceptable.
Every Canadian who needed a CERB cheque had one sent to them within 10 days, but vulnerable seniors who had their benefits slashed can't get a cheque for $3 500 sent to them before the month of May. Can you explain this to me?
