Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the intention of the government is to use the core need income thresholds that have been developed by the Housing Corporation as a base for which we would provide the fuel rebates.

The core need income threshold is a threshold that was established and is maintained by the Housing Corporation to determine the income levels under which people would be eligible for assistance for their housing purchase and maintenance costs. We felt this was a good base for the fuel rebates as well. Thank you.
