Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think I am trying to clarify my role here as the Minister responsible for Seniors. I do not have the capability of spending another department's funding. I do not have the opportunity or the resources to review programs as the departments are able to do. However, I do receive these types of concerns not only from individuals, but also from the seniors' society. They are involved to a large degree as to whether or not we increase programs, whether or not we change them or whatever. I cannot respond to the Member and say that I support this program or I do not support this program, the subsidy being increased. I just cannot respond to that. Thank you.
