Mr. Chairman, it is just taking the $500 limit out of the Social Assistance Act and putting it into this act, and then the FMB will delegate the authority to the Minister of Social Services to be able to continue to write off or forgive debts. Only this time it will not be $500; it will be a maximum of $1000.
