Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to see that in this motion it states that the Standing Committee on Social Programs be consulted and fully involved in discussions. I would hope there is some direction there that it be to specific programs such as the Mammography Program. That way, I feel that I can support the program. I have continually spoken here in the House about the need for us to put some money into job creation programs and I would have liked to have seen that in here, but I will support the motion. However, next year, I would hope that we could reword a motion of this nature to also include job creation as much as health and social services areas. Thank you.
