Okay, Mr. Speaker. The argument is always out there. Low income people are already at or below the poverty line. Some cash would certainly make a difference in their hand, but we have the other argument here that it costs money to make childcare programs available and accessible, and therein lies the dilemma. Mr. Speaker, in the review of our overall income support framework, will the government be entertaining a new policy and a new outlook on how we are going to treat low income and income support clients in relation to outside cash awards that they might receive? Is this something that we'll be able to look at and hopefully come up with some kind of long-term answer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
