Thank you very much, Mr President. And as I said, Senator Siewert, past the end of September we are intending to continue to provide elevated levels of support to people who find themselves unemployed, whether they were unemployed before the coronavirus hit or unemployed as a result of the COVID pandemic. We on this side of the chamber understand that we have a responsibility to balance providing the level of elevated support people need with making sure we provide the incentive for them to re-engage with the workforce, because the best thing we can do is get them back into work.
