Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said earlier, a lot of changes have taken place. First of all, we changed the fuel subsidy regionally, so there's a higher level of support for individual seniors if they are in a colder climate area with longer winters. The second case that took place was the change in the level of income that a senior can have. A number of those changes have taken place and no doubt, the department, in its wisdom, has made changes on the forms as well. What we did do, as well, Mr. Speaker, is put out a publication to allow seniors and others on income support to understand the program, but I will immediately get on to the question that the Member raised here. If we can provide assistance to seniors in communities to help fill out the forms and secondly to see if the forms are appropriate and if we need to make changes on the forms.
