Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is to the Premier in the absence of the Social Services' Minister. Community economic well-being is fundamentally important to me and to the people who elected me. That was one of the reasons why I think they put me here. Madam Speaker, we penalize people who really need the assistance of the government who are living off the welfare system. We penalize those who are able to find jobs by not allowing them to earn a bit of money on the side. Every time recipients earn money, they are penalized the next assistance pay day when they are deducted. I would like to ask the honourable Minister if the Cabinet will review the matter and get back to the House.
