Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This whole program is working reasonably well and delivering its objectives. I do look forward to the overall review of all of our income security programs, along with other departments, including this one. My question right now in terms of delivering what we are mandated to do is kind of a localized question, Mr. Chairman. My concern is reflected in some calls that I have had from constituents who seem to have problems with the amount of time it's taking for their case to be heard or reviewed or the ability of the local income support office to respond to problems or complaints or situations that they are having. I wanted to ask, Mr. Chairman, whether staffing within the Yellowknife income support office or anywhere else in the NWT is an issue. Are clients' complaints related to any difficulties because we haven't been able to keep the staff complement up? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
