Mr. Speaker, I think the attitude of the department is to try to issue social assistance payments in the most appropriate way, looking at the needs of the individual person and the community. Yes, I will be open to accepting advice from the local Social Services Appeal Committee in that community and will ask my officials to get their input in looking at the current policy. Thank you.
