(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Social Services. I was informed that the social assistance rates have been increased by five per cent. Mr. Speaker, the price of the carvings are constantly going down, and for this reason my constituents are going through hardship, especially those who are living on earnings from carving. Mr. Speaker, would the Minister of Social Services indicate if we can expect a raise in 1993-94? She previously answered that the policy is still under review. Would the Minister indicate to us if she will reply today? Thank you.
