My honourable colleague actually raised this issue with me earlier in the year with respect to the possibility of looking at a tax break for low income single parent families. We are looking at that right now. I cannot commit today as to whether we would put it into the January budget, but we are certainly taking a serious look at it, recognizing that on the low end income side, families are hurting and suffering out there. There may be a way to put something in place that would assist them, as has been done in other jurisdictions like BC. Thank you.
