Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it would be difficult to publish a booklet which outlines the program in detail for everybody because individual circumstances vary, family circumstances vary, and the program looks at the circumstances of the family. The Member raised the issue that we have to find some way to deal with communications in a better way, and we will certainly look at that. With the changes to the program that take place, it would be difficult to publish a book on a regular basis that would accomplish this effectively. For instance, we just announced a change to the food basket rates. The program is constantly under review and being updated. It is difficult to put out a booklet that would not be outdated very quickly. The answer is that individuals need to work with the income support workers and perhaps we need to find some way to improve communications within the smaller communities between the workers and the clients. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
