Mr. Speaker, the Income Support Programs in the Northwest Territories are designed to be support programs of last resort. As such, they are designed and continually reassessed in order to ensure that they are meeting minimum requirements. If particular families are having difficulties, then they should go back and have a reassessment done of their situation. It may be that there is information missing or something has not been understood. Clearly they are meant as sufficient to meet the basic needs of all families using this program. Thank you.
