Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Income Support Program is not supposed to be difficult to access and I am concerned about the Member's comment in her statement that a disabled person found it difficult to gain access to the program. We will commit to investigating that concern, Mr. Speaker. The Income Support Program is set up so that anybody who demonstrates their needs are at a certain level can access the program to provide them with support. There are, of course, limits that are set on the program due to fiscal realities that, unfortunately, we have to live with in terms of total dollars available for the program. If a person demonstrates need, the program will provide support.
