Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for the question. The Member raises an area of some concern. I understand that concern. We are doing our best to address it. Mr. Speaker, I would like to comment that the number of applications in Fort McPherson, my records indicate that there are 20, eight were approved, five were denied, six were incomplete applications, and one was in progress. However, with regard to the question that the Member has raised, what we try to do with the Income Support Program, and what we do do across the Territory, of course, is to apply it consistently. An issue has been raised with regard to individuals living within the homes of seniors. Our assessment, of course, is based on the total family or home income, not just for the seniors. That is how we do the assessment at the moment, Mr. Speaker. We do that through the income tax returns.
