Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member will be pleased to know that Alzheimer's has not yet set in and I do remember my committee making those recommendations. What I should say is the whole revamping of the income support program will take into account all of the things that the Member has brought up. How successful we will be at achieving the sort of equity that we're hoping for will, of course, be something that we'll have to demonstrate in this House when Members take a look at the new program. I'm hoping we will be able to demonstrate that the program can be offered across the Northwest Territories in a fair and equitable manner.
The Members should be aware that we're under significant pressure to try and live within the amount of money that we have in this budget. We will have to take a look at some of the options that will be presented to Cabinet and to committee as to how do we proceed. In the past, the food basket value has always been set on the understanding that people would supplement what they could buy at the store with country food. That has, in the past, been a constant underpinning to the setting of the food basket rates. How much of that we'll see in the new program once it's presented to Cabinet and committee next month, I can't say at this point in time. But the Member can be assured that while we're taking a look at redefining the program, all of the recommendations that have been made in this House will be kept in mind. We will then have to demonstrate to Members that we've followed through as much as possible, when we present that new plan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
