Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to underscore that in Quebec City we are a tightknit community and my team and I have the pleasure and honour of working with the team of the hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent. I think we are all very proud to be the members of Parliament for our ridings and we can also be very proud of the collaboration that exists between our teams.
On the subject of the Canada emergency response benefit that we have put in place, as I said earlier, in the Quebec City region tens of thousands of families are receiving this emergency benefit because they absolutely need it to make ends meet. That being said, we know that there are problems, which is why the Canadian government announced very important aid a few days ago to the tune of $3 billion to increase the pay of workers in essential sectors of the economy. We know that the Quebec government will use that aid wisely.
