Madam Speaker, I agree with some of the member's speech, especially around the reality that it was known a very long time ago that the pandemic benefits were going to have significant impacts not only on seniors and the GIS, but of course on families and the child tax benefit. It is especially sad when we look at these two benefits and how they directly link to keeping Canadians out of poverty. Having those clawed back, especially during the pandemic, seems very careless.
Would the member respond to Campaign 2000? It is asking for an advance payment to be directed to the seniors of this country who had their GIS clawed back, sort of as an interim measure as they assess and get to the next step of the final payment.
