Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, during this time when I was home I had a concern raised to me by a constituent who was renting a property to an income support client and ultimately went thousands of dollars into arrears. She contacted the Minister about it and subsequently contacted me. I was wondering if the Minister for Education, Culture and Employment could outline for us what the department's policy is with respect to providing funds to income support clients for basic needs such as shelter, food, child care, when these funds do not get spent on those and suppliers of those services end up being owed money? What is the official position or policy of the department? Thank you.
