Mr. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the honourable Minister's answer. Mr. Speaker, the special committee has recommended that rates be reviewed on an urgent basis and that they are not adequate to meet the real costs in our communities. Mr. Speaker, I am not aware that legislative amendments are required to change or improve social assistance rates. Is the Minister going to review those rates or is she going to hide behind the delay required to receive the final report of the special committee?
