Mr. Speaker, with respect, I didn't ask the Minister, is it the responsibility of the Minister of Social Services to look after families and children in need. That was the question she answered. What I asked was -- and I'll use up another supplementary asking it again and I'll try to put it in different words -- does the Minister intend to make it a priority in preparing the budget for the coming fiscal year, to address the shortfall in nutritious food baskets in the present social assistance rates? Thank you.
