Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Some time was taken to work on this particular project following the February session. There was concern expressed by Members about the impact upon seniors and upon students, the financial impact that they would suffer as a result of the implementation of this policy. Hence, some time was taken to look at possible changes, possible alternatives. What has transpired is a submission to Cabinet. Cabinet has reviewed it and proceeded with it. We are now in the stages of informing Members on it. We sought to seek a briefing position and a briefing time with the Members, and we can certainly continue to do that, if Members are interested. We are preparing some documentation so that we can inform Members on this whole subject as to what we feel is the appropriate procedure now to implement this particular strategy. Thank you.
