Mr. Speaker, yes, the Minister's commitment to have a look at the broad application of the program is a welcome one. As a Member of that standing committee, I look forward to engaging in that. But in the meantime, the Minister's answers have made it very clear that, for now, there's not going to be any budging on this issue. So I'd like to ask that at least this aspect of it, if we're not going to be making any moves to get off this clawback kick of ours -- Alternatives North reports that over the past two years the NCBS has increased something like 17 percent the size of its allotment -- to what extent has the GNWT increased our provisions of support to income support clients? Have we kept pace, at least, with what the federal government is doing? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
