Mr. Speaker, I would encourage him to have a look at the tables that say “zero” for this year and “zero” for next year. People had better brace themselves, because this winter is going to be very long. It is going to be long for anyone who cannot find housing, because there is no new money for housing until 2025. It is going to be long for anyone who becomes part of the 5% increase in homelessness, because there is no emergency funding. It is going to be long for media workers who are faced with job losses, because there is no emergency funding for them either. It is going to be long for our SMEs, which will not survive the winter if the deadline for repayment of the Canada emergency business account is not pushed back from January. The time to take care of these people is now. It is not in the spring, and certainly not in 2025. What is the Prime Minister waiting for?
