Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In this specific situation, I believe the amount of maintenance payment which arrived was approximately $700. It was the only payment received in the entire year. It was received in at the end of the year. I believe about $350 of it was required to be paid to the Housing Authority in rent. I understand the rents pay needs to reflect the person's income. Would it be possible for something such as maintenance support to be spread over a 12 month period, so as to not affect the rent payable on any one given month? Especially in December, when everyone knows that families need a little extra money.
