Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, asking for stats and information is not confidential when you don't connect it to people's names and when you have a pool of 14 people in a city as large as 20,000, it's pretty tough to know who is who. On top of that, we don't announce or publicize in any way the recipients of these grants. So we don't say John Doe or Jane Doe received a grant. It's very difficult to imagine how even to start to begin with how someone would connect a name with who potentially got this. So the bottom line is I think what's being flaunted here is the word confidentiality and we're going to hide behind it. Well I'm sorry, Madam Speaker, that is not good enough. We can provide that information. I sought legal advise in this question, which is we could provide it. So the question to the Minister is will he provide the information that I've asked for, which is people's situation before they got this grant, such as were they in public housing or not, how big was the family; those types of scenarios. I have given him lots of questions. So to the point, will the Minister provide those types of answers that I've asked of him? Thank you, Madam Speaker.
