Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I recognize the Government Leader has indicated that Cabinet is cognizant of Members' concerns. I recognize the budget process allows for inflation rate and forced growth, but the inflation rate this year is about two to three per cent. This would do very little for the food allowances which are already set out. Members feel that more than the inflation rate has to be looked at, to address adequate food allowances to social assistance recipients.
Mr. Chairman, when I look at the amount we have spent on food, I would like to ask the Minister, do you have the numbers of social assistance recipients that we have in the system that utilize this $22 million for food in the budget? Thank you.
