Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister's response doesn't give me much assurance that we will be able to meet the budgeted figure. We would probably be wise to consider this a holding figure in the budget.

Her comments give rise to another concern. The Minister talks about the need, perhaps, to increase people's awareness to change society mores, the way they think about things. The question is with this social assistance funding moving to Education, Culture and Employment, does the Minister see that department as know having the responsibility for addressing those concerns that she has just raised? Or, does the social services side of Health and Social Services continue on with trying to address those community needs?
