Thank you, Madam Chair. Because right now I'm just trying to think in my head, I know right now under the income support forms you basically have your basic needs, such as food, shelter, utilities, and even miscellaneous items that are required by a client that goes in there. I know that with the housing associations they have a form mainly in terms of for, I guess, the assessment of their monthly rent. I'm going back to the one-stop shop idea. In some communities, like Mr. Yakeleya said, there are some places where it is a long distance for some of the clients to actually walk from point A to point B. So to me that's not quite a one-stop shop. I think consideration of living very hard in terms of making sure that you have that one-stop shop where they can just go from door to door. A case in point, Madam Chair, is that you go into the housing association office, sit down with the TRO, fill out your assessment form for the monthly rent. Maybe just down the street, there you have your income support worker. She'll have all that information and there's implementing that thing. I don't know if the Minister said it earlier, we're probably looking past April 1st, but will strong consideration be given into that place right away? Thank you.
