Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I said in response to Mr. Braden earlier, the issue of reviewing guidelines for the program is one that is open at all times. If a Member comes to me and says here is what I see as a problem, I will take a look at it, I will discuss it with personnel in the department and we will get back to the Member as to whether or not we will consider revising the guidelines. I will also discuss them with the standing committee. It's this House that has to ultimately agree to any changes in guidelines, because when I change the guidelines, or when we change the guidelines, that changes the cost of the program. That means I then have to get a change in the budget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
