Thank you, Madam Chair. I know, I guess it would be kind of in a dilemma here if, because I know the income assistance cheques, you know, people want them right away, yet if you have to go through an appeal process, you want it done within even a quicker method of 30 days at the most. Cheques usually come out within 48 hours after your application gets processed. So I think we're going to, I think with this appeal process, the way it's set up, and it does sound very flexible, which could be good and it could be bad, but I'm just wondering, you know, are we not setting ourselves up here for some real backlashes as far as income support appeals when they do come in, and people get their appeals heard in a community where they are not even from and another person gets their appeals heard six months later when the appeal committee happens to travel to their community? Roughly the same appeal around the same circumstances, but one gets accepted and one gets turned down. I think we are setting ourselves up for a real problem on that front just with some inconsistencies on how these appeals are going to be handled on a regional basis.

Speaking of consistency, how are these people in Colville Lake, as opposed to people in Fort Resolution, have totally different income needs and the Income Support Program addresses those needs in a different fashion? How are we going to regulate or even set some across-the-board standard appeal policies that are going to make it fair for everybody? Where are these policies, if there are any, for this appeal committee if it is going to roll out here in June? Are there any policies in place already for these appeal committees? Thank you.
