Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So the idea of having direct payments made for food, fuel, day care, these all come about as a person who would self-identify as needing that kind of help to ensure that their bills are paid. It would be totally on a basis of self-identifying. This is not something that would ever be imposed on a client should the caseworker find out that this person was having a hard time directing the funds to the appropriate thing the funds were intended for. Thank you.
