Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was very pleased to hear the Minister of Social Services state, in response to the Member for High Arctic, that she is prepared to consider dealing with the shortfall in the food rates for social assistance recipients and that, in fact, she is prepared to consider doing so for the coming fiscal year. Mr. Speaker, does this mean we can expect when the Minister presents the estimates for her department during this session that the matter of the shortfall in food allowance rates for social assistance clients will be addressed?
