Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am going to respond precisely in the context that this is a government-wide initiative. If I can extrapolate from the document, the foundation for the initiative lies in the GNWT business plan which established as the Territory's vision a healthy population served by a stable, effective and efficient government that is consistent with Canadian democratic traditions, and is respectful of the needs, potential and aspirations of all residents.

Mr. Speaker, the principle of this initiative is to, in terms of the communication plan, support a larger part of the social agenda message of decreased dependency and increased personal responsibility. What we see, Mr. Speaker, is the majority of people who remain on income support will see a decrease in rents and an increase in other support services.

Those few, approximately 14 to 16 percent affected, we will look at other options to accommodate those individuals who require that. I wanted to inform the Member that we are constantly working on several changes to make sure that this works for all the people. Thank you.
