Mr. Speaker, the government has set up distribution centres for government cheques but in sprawling rural areas that does not work. Many communities are a long way from these centres and people who cannot afford food, never mind gas, have no way to get there. This is an overwhelming hardship on Canadians most in need.
Why can the minister not understand the damage he is doing to thousands of Canadians who count on this government and are being let down? When is he going to legislate an end to this devastating and harmful strike?
