Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister of Health has indicated this is an issue that we fully realize has to be addressed. As well, she has also indicated that it is a priority issue that we have to deal with one way or the other. I know there is some apprehension because there is not a specific number in the budget for 1993-94. However, given the Minister's statement and realization that this is a very much a priority concern in this House, we had anticipated addressing the issue once we came up with some kind of formula that would take care of the issues which are out there.
I want to bring to the attention of the House that we do have a supplementary reserve for inflation. That could be used to adjust rates which would then be reflected in the supplementary appropriation. There is an avenue to address the issue that has been put forward in terms of the rates which are paid to social service recipients. So, I want to give some assurance that Cabinet understands this is an area which still has to be addressed. We fully intend to support the Minister in addressing this issue in some form, but we are not quite sure how we will adjust that. We need a little time to do this. Thank you.
