Madam Speaker, my friend made some very good and valid points.
One of the things I would like to ask is this. This pandemic has been over a year now and the government finally recognized the help that seniors and people with disabilities need, especially my ,community along with, I am sure, many other communities across Canada. It finally recognized the help they needed and gave them some assistance. Now we are in a second wave, but we do not know when it will end or when a budget will be in place to help people.
Does the member feel that it is important that a second assistance payment be made immediately to help low-income people get through some of these bad times?
