(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Health and Social Services. It seems like there won't be an increase in the assistance that is given to the recipients, because back east the prices of food are skyrocketing and there are a lot of unemployed people who get assistance. When there are a large number of people in a household, it's not enough. I would like to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, is there an increase in the recipients who need assistance, or are there any surveys done at all on those who get assistance from Social Services. Nowadays, the amount they get is not sufficient, and maybe there should be a study done to see if there's an increase in the recipients who get assistance. Thank you.
