Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is directed to the honourable Minister of Social Services. When I travelled to my area I met with people who receive social assistance from the system. There are a number of cases whereby the social assistance recipient goes shopping in one store and the store charges GST, but in another store they don't charge GST. In the area of social services my question to the honourable Minister, Madam Speaker, is that, is there a policy within the Department of Social Services that the recipient of social assistance does not pay GST when they go shopping? Thank you.
