Mr. Speaker, people in my riding have been contacting my office to say they are struggling with the transition from CERB to EI, or to the other benefits. Some of them have been without income because the government prorogued Parliament, shutting it down when Canadians needed the government the most. Some were not able to reach the CRA this weekend because of scheduled maintenance. The Liberals do not seem to have planned ahead to take care of these people, and I can only imagine how worried my constituents are to hear the Liberals threatening an election only a year after the last election and in the middle of a pandemic.
What does the member think? How can the Liberals stand behind this kind of lack of accountability, secretiveness and what is looking more and more like corruption from a government that is working for wealthy and well-connected friends when Canadians just want them to be working for Canadians?
