Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the Finance Minister's Budget Address, he talked about the child tax credit. Mr. Speaker, we hear in this House about child poverty, about lack of housing and about the lack of food. I could not agree more than I did with the reply to the Budget Address that Mr. Steen put forward with respect to how we are going to ensure this child tax benefit actually gets to the children that we are trying to help. It is going to go to the parents, we know that. My question is to the Minister of Finance. If this is a federal program, is it too late to use these resources in some other fashion to make certain that the children are the direct beneficiaries of these resources? Thank you.
