Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I agree with Mr. Antoine. However, I don't think we should try and force people to do things they don't really want to. If there is a demand for this from the public, I don't see any reason why we can not make it mandatory or compulsory for people who receive assistance to go into a program, if you will. This has not been requested, according to my understanding. Mr. Dent can go on from here. But I don't think it was demanded. There was some concern, however, that people who were receiving social assistance were not managing their money wisely. That is the reason why this is a motion of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services. If Mr. Dent wishes to explain further, that would be your discretion. Thank you.
