I believe the objective of the Members and the seniors in the gallery and everybody I have talked to is to make sure this program is good qualitatively and it’s not, the time is not the most important thing; it’s that we do the right thing. We are committed to do the right thing and I have agreed with the Seniors’ Society and the NGOs that I have been talking to, that we will have roundtables, we will have workshops, because these are very complicated issues and we will make sure that we do not cause undue hardship to those people who need our assistance and that we will have meaningful consultation. The end date is not written in stone. I don’t understand. Members have been asking me for the last six weeks to extend this, change this. I do this and the difference between…I don’t know. I have been open, approachable, I have been accommodating. I don’t understand what the big deal is about the date. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
