Madam Speaker, one hundred per cent. We do not have to look too much further to realize that a lot of folks have been fired or reprimanded for receiving ineligible funds during COVID. Especially if it came from the government, surely somebody should know better. When we have so many folks and so many companies, especially small businesses, those storefronts and our small towns struggling, why are they getting a benefit? Why are some people getting a slush fund when other folks are suffering just to make ends meet?
