Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is a bit premature to answer that question because we haven't seen the details of the program. As I understand how it has been talked about, the funding will flow to somebody who is on income support. Under our current regulations, that money would be seen as income and, therefore, would be counted in the assessment of income that the person has for that month, which would then impact on the amount of money that we would provide to them.
