Thank you, Madam Chair. The Member is right that under our current legislation, income support is provided to people who are 19 years of age and older. Those who are younger need to work out an arrangement with Health and Social Services. Our staff are aware that that's the requirement and are quite constantly referring the clients, or potential clients, back to Health and Social Services. There is a fair bit of dialogue between our workers. As I indicated in my answer to Mr. Braden, as we move towards a more case managed process, that level of communication will continue to improve.
