Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question about cuts to the emergency benefit.
So far, people who are out of a job and need an emergency benefit to put food on the table and keep a roof over their head have been getting $500 per week. Now the government is about to cut that back to $300 per week, which is below the poverty line.
How have my colleague's constituents reacted to this massive cut to the emergency benefit?
