Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to confirm that I do in fact have a heart. Mr. Speaker, I have said on more than one occasion this week, that I am committed to working with the standing committee, the Seniors' Advisory Council and Members of this House, on redesigning the program reflecting on the fiscal realities that we face. I can say that we are definitely working to ensure that all is done to make the program available to seniors in the next year. I would point out that the program for most seniors would be winding down now, because most seniors put their claims in for the program early in the year. We are talking about a program where the demands will most likely come starting next September. The budget starts April 1, 1997/98. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
