Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the goals of the Income Support Program is to help foster independence. It is certainly just as with rent. The approach is that the support that a family needs is provided to that family so that they can use those resources to support themselves. So that is the goal. Having said that, if the client finds that that is not the best way, if they are finding that there are problems, we are certainly open to, for instance, providing landlords directly with the funding that's necessary. But we expect it to be a joint process, and we expect the client to take the lead of negotiating that.
