Mr. Speaker, we have received dozens of calls from Canadians who depend on government assistance cheques but who have not received them this month. One gentleman said that he did not have enough money to purchase insulin because his EI cheque did not come. Last night a lady from St. John's had to rush her son to the hospital but did not have enough gas to get there.
How does the minister plan to immediately deliver these urgent cheques, or is he hoping that Santa Claus will deliver them?
