Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I personally don't disagree with the assessment being on the previous month or previous two months. As I mentioned, we are just completing the work on that. We should be in a position to move forward on this before a very short period of time. Once it is, it will be instituted. We wanted to make sure that someone who had a lower income last year wouldn't be penalized if we took the previous months, if that month was high income. So we had to take care of that particular detail, Mr. Speaker. That is what we were working out right at the moment, so it should work to the benefit of those seniors.
