Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What I have been told is when clients do come in for income support, it is clearly outlined to the individuals what areas they will be supported in, what areas will be taken back, what areas are unearned income and considered as such, and what areas are considered as earned income. I am assured by my officials that that is made clear to clients at the time of application, Mr. Speaker.

Some clients are on a yearly basis if they are permanently required to be on income support. Other clients may be from time to time, in cases where they are in need. So they are, on an ongoing basis, informed. Those clients who are on a continued basis may receive cheques automatically, Mr. Speaker, but at the time of application they are informed about the conditions and the circumstances of provision of support in the income support area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
