The government made heroic efforts to do exactly that. The introduction of the CERB helped more than eight million Canadians put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6862481\" data-originallang=\"en\">We know that this continues to be a difficult time for many. We will continue to be there for Canadians. As it pertains to those Canadians who were entitled to the CERB, that is a matter that is being worked through with colleagues. We look forward to informing the House of our work on that matter in due course.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6862479\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de sa question. Elle a bien cern\u00e9 cet enjeu important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6862480\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie, le gouvernement avait la responsabilit\u00e9 d'acheminer les fonds le plus rapidement possible \u00e0 ceux qui en avaient le plus besoin. Il n'a m\u00e9nag\u00e9 aucun effort pour y arriver. La PCU a aid\u00e9 plus de 8 millions de Canadiens \u00e0 se nourrir et \u00e0 se loger.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6862481\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous savons que les temps sont encore durs pour de nombreux Canadiens et nous continuerons de les aider. En ce qui a trait aux Canadiens qui \u00e9taient admissibles \u00e0 la PCU, je me penche sur cet enjeu avec mes coll\u00e8gues. Le moment venu, nous informerons la Chambre de l'\u00e9volution de nos travaux \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
