Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Social Services. Mr. Speaker, prior to attending this session I had the pleasure of travelling to Gjoa Haven and Spence Bay. In Spence Bay I had a meeting with the local appeal committee. One of the dominant issues at this particular meeting was the welfare assistance to needy clients. People of Gjoa Haven and Pelly Bay are concerned about the inconsistency of giving out payments to recipients throughout the N.W.T. The issue being that people of Pelly Bay and Spence Bay are paid $50 in cash and the rest in vouchers. I would like to ask the Minister if this is the policy of the government throughout the territories? Thank you.
