Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Social Services. In my many years as a social worker I have always treated the people fairly and with dignity, be they native or non-native. However, in the community which I represent, I received a letter of complaint that a social worker would not believe that a certain mother was out of bare necessities. By that, I mean: flour, sugar, tea, etc. The worker would not believe this lady, so she went to her home for her own investigation to check the cupboards. Could the Minister tell me if it is a policy of the social workers of Social Services to look into someone's cabinet at home and to invade people's privacy?
