Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, I appreciate the Member is wanting to be helpful and is putting forward some suggestions and talking with me about the way to make this a better program. I certainly support that. As I said yesterday, I will look at any suggestions that are coming forward and I welcome them.
We have to keep in mind though that the objective of this program is not to provide everyone with a rebate as it is designed, but rather to focus on those who are most in need. I really do not know that we want to compromise too much on the timeliness of this either. We need to get it out there quickly. There are a lot of people who are hurting in being able to pay their heating bill. We want to get this out fast.
There has to be a bit of a compromise between keeping this program simple and maybe having to do some broad categories of people, excluding some or maybe seeming to be unfair to some individuals, but dealing with our population in categories that capture those people who most need help. I am trying to balance this, keep it fairly simple, keep it timely and at the same time help those who are most in need. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
