Mr. Speaker, many Canadians are counting on the Canadian emergency and recovery benefits to put food on the table and a roof over their heads. Unfortunately, the people who need it the most are given the runaround, wrongly labelled ineligible or trapped without support as processing backlogs force them to wait for months. Ten months later, still the paralyzing bureaucracy, confusion and loopholes in these programs continue to persist. This must be a priority. When will the government fix the emergency and recovery benefits program?
In the House of Commons on January 27th, 2021. See this statement in context.
