Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In a perfect world I suppose this would work and I do support income support clients seeking responsibility for themselves and the payment of their bills. However, I would like to know what consequences does the department enforce if, in fact, this is an ongoing and chronic problem with a client? Are there any consequences to spending money that was given to them on the pretence of paying for their basic needs on something other than that?
