Madam Speaker, our seniors love our flag. I will bring it back to the bill. It is important to recognize that it was an MP for Kingston and the Islands who brought this flag, and this design, forward. It is a renowned symbol. It is something that not only seniors, but all Canadians can appreciate.

Madam Speaker, it was actually a member for Leeds, which is just east of Kingston.

Madam Speaker, I am very fond of the member for Kingston and the Islands, so it almost seems unfair to point out that one of the obstacles we have all faced in this place was an unnecessary election called on August 15, which stopped the work of the House from the end of June until the end of January. I know it is not his personal responsibility to explain it, but can he perhaps cast some light on it?

Mr. Speaker, through you, allow me to thank my good friend for Kingston and the Islands for his question, and indeed for his hard work on all the files that he touches. Let me also say there are a lot of fundamental issues that we disagree with on all different sides, but I think this is something we all agree with. Our government's priority has always been to support those most vulnerable seniors. That is why we moved so quickly to provide support for them through the one-time payment. Of course, this bill is important so we can prevent that and make sure seniors are not negatively affected again this year. I really hope we can all move quickly to do just that.
