Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when this program was taken over by Education, Culture and Employment from Health and Social Services, the intent was to free up time for social workers to deliver the
support services that people needed. Income support was seen much along the lines of a clerical function, wherein a clerk could figure out whether or not a person's income was over or under a certain line in a community and determine whether or not their income needed to be topped up. In calculating the formula for paying for the administration for the delivery of the program, it was felt that the amount of money represented by one full-time equivalent for 2,000 cases would be adequate. I have to assume that if the amount is $4,000 as the Member has said, that would be based on that formula. We have found that formula to work across the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
