Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, the Honourable Jake Ootes. In my Member's statement I noted that when federal Minister Jane Stewart was in Yellowknife in August, she encouraged the territorial government not to claw back the national child benefit supplement from people on income support. The Minister and his department have chosen to ignore the request from the federal Minister. I'd like to ask the Minister if you would allow people on income support to keep the national child benefit supplement? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
