Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for his strong advocacy on this really important issue. We understand, as a government, that Canadians are facing more pressures when it comes to paying the rent. That is why we introduced legislation to provide a top-up of $500 through the Canada housing benefit, a top-up that will help 1.8 million Canadian renters pay their rent. I am pleased to share with the House that this legislation has now received royal assent and payments will launch at the end of the year. On this side of the House, Canadians know that our government always has their backs.
