Mr. Speaker, as I said in answer to Mr. Bell's question, we have been hearing over the past year from people on the other side about the need to do something to help people with the rising cost of energy. So we have listened. As I said, it has been discussed on a number of occasions over the past year, so we have been hearing from people.

This program is fairly simple, fairly straightforward. It is one-time funding. It is meant to help people who are having difficult circumstances. I do not think it is fair for us to sit here for months trying to refine this little strategy, leaving people out there wondering if they will ever see a cheque. I want to get those cheques out, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
