Mr. Speaker, in the federal budget of a couple of days ago, there were changes announced to the National Child Benefit and I would like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment some questions related to this. The news from Ottawa tells us that the National Child Benefit supplement will increase $150 per child in July of this year and $185 in July of 2006, if I have my information correct. The question I would like to ask, Mr. Speaker, is will the Government of the Northwest Territories allow recipients to keep this cash directly or are we going to continue to scoop it and put it into other less focused child programs? Thank you.
