I have one last question, Mr. Chairman. I have an experience in many communities where I have friends who are on minimum wage as janitors and make less of an amount of take home income than those on welfare with families of ten. That person on social assistance would not be eligible under that program. Although he's a hunter, no matter what he does, he can not get 25 per cent of his income from traditional harvesting. With a family of ten, you can't match that even if you have a fairly good job under the present government's assistance program.
