First of all, let me say we chose to base this as a proposal on the cost of maintaining a home, not on the cost of a food basket. In answer to the question what happens if the money runs out, we will have to find more money. We are not going to cut people off just because we have spent our estimated amount. Everyone who meets the criteria is eligible and they will receive a cheque if they meet the eligibility criteria. Thank you.
