With regard to income security, have we ironed out how we are going to address subsidies of public housing initiatives? My immediate concern is we are going to have somebody who never asked for income support going to ECE. I am not sure what kind of guidelines are in place. These are people with income, jobs, and typically ECE helps people who are in dire need. I don't know if they have set up a different structure. People are telling me when they are going to ECE, what's actually going on is you have to expose your whole life to ECE in order to get approved for a program and it's pretty humiliating, especially to young families getting a start in life. I just wonder how the Minister and the department is going to address this concern.
