Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would hope that the Minister would reconsider that. I know I have had constituents who have said if a family with an income of $70,000 is going to qualify for the full $320, why would a family with a $73,000 income not qualify for at least a portion of that and do it on a graduated basis? I would ask the Minister to reconsider. I do not believe the administration would be that much more onerous to set up a graduated scheme, so the amount that was paid per family depended on income. Will the Minister reconsider and actually introduce a graduated scheme? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
