Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A further complaint that the Yellowknife Women's Centre has heard is that clients are not being informed that they have the right to appeal decisions that have been made by the income support worker, nor are they provided with the appropriate documentation to pursue an appeal.

Mr. Speaker, we have often heard that this government will not balance the budget on the backs of the poor. Surely, Mr. Speaker, if some of these allegations are true, then perhaps we are indeed attempting to balance the budget somewhat on the backs of the poor. These types of things should not be happening. I would urge the Minister responsible for income support to look into these matters. I put him on notice that I will be asking questions at the appropriate time. Thank you.
