That's all true, but, Mr. Speaker, by that same token, this program keeps a lid on all those families. It does not give them an extra margin that they could use, such as this program to get a bit ahead to make a difference in their life. It's been argued that while the program does sustain families, it in fact imposes poverty.
Mr. Speaker, this question is going to stay on our agenda. I would like the Minister to provide some information. I am
wondering if he could provide me today or in the near future how many income support clients would get their energy cost benefit clawed back and how much money this would total. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
