Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Further on the issue of food allowances, will the Minister of Social Services acknowledge that the present food allowance rates, even with the cost of living increase that's been discussed in this House, still only cover between 50 and 70 per cent of the cost of a nutritious food basket? Thank you.
