Thank you, Chair.
I just want to state that obviously we understand MP Zarrillo's motion. We understand the passion behind it. Also, just for the record, these benefits do take time. There's a lot of consultation with provinces, which has not happened yet. It's a major undertaking.
I would say there's nobody who doesn't want to see this benefit rolled out. I think there's also legitimate concern that it be rolled out correctly and that we not leave people behind. The concern is just that pegging it to the first quarter, I think, risks our not doing it completely right.
I can certainly speak to my province of New Brunswick. These conversations and negotiations are very challenging, Chair. I respectfully ask MP Zarrillo to consider that.
Thank you.
