Thank you, Madam Speaker. I was going to direct my question to the Minister of Social Services, but Madam Speaker we never received any notice of her absence in the House so I will direct my question to the Government Leader. My question is with regard to fuel subsidy, Madam Speaker. I want to thank the Minister, first of all, that she did

respond but I didn't get the letter. I would like to ask the Minister, even though it says subsidies are given to people who turn 60 years of age, before they are eligible, is it 60 years of age during that year which makes them eligible, or is it on their birthday they receive five cords of wood in front of their door? I would like to know whether there is some flexibility so a person who is going to be 60 in December is eligible to get wood in the fall.
