Mr. Chairman, we also need to determine if our social services are truly meeting the needs of the community. The government is currently conducting a review of the income support system. The review should examine whether recipients of income assistance in fact become trapped in lives of dependency. People told us that this system is tough to get into and even tougher to get out of. Every step should be taken to encourage pride, a desire to work and a sense of initiative in people who receive income support.
