Mr. Speaker, we were flexible when we were developing the details of our plan six weeks ago.
We understood that school was going to reopen. We did not know what that was going to look like. We did not know the August job numbers. We did not know what state the pandemic would be in when we put forward this legislation, so we signalled very clearly that there would be flexibility in our approach to these benefits.
Certainly, I have tried my best to work collaboratively with my colleagues and with my critics. I have felt, time and again, that our laws have been bettered during this pandemic because of that collaboration. I think that is what is in the best interests of Canadians.
