Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding was this service is currently provided by Health and Social Services and I believe through social workers. When you reach the age of indigent seniors or if you are a person with disabilities, you are in a different area of concern in regard to your needs. The relationship between your situation in life and income, as opposed to other folks who would qualify for income support and making the productive choices that Education, Culture and Employment can provide.
I am concerned you will see income support workers that are geared to deal with people capable of making productive choices. If there are other related issues, are they going to have to run back to see the social worker and go back and forth, as opposed to having a social worker be able to deal with the issues now and write the cheque for assistance if needed?
