Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just a few days ago I said yes, I will review the rates. I thought when I gave the direction to the department to look into the cost of the food in the communities, that I was being fair. I think I would be supported in the majority of the communities out there. Out in the communities I really feel I have the support from them. When I decided and gave the instruction to the department to increase the rates based on the food costs in the communities, I thought I did the right thing. It would not be fair of the communities, who may have lower food cost rates, to have the same increases as the other communities, who may need it more. I will look into this, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
