Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that answering that question yes or no could predetermine the review process. Really, I just want to make it clear that we have heard loud and clear that the packages as they are presented were inadequate, and are in need for some real sound financial analysis and justification. We need to go beyond the changes proposed on the implications. There are myriads of issues and concerns that we have been hearing since we launched in December, 2008.

It was suggested this morning that we should cease to implement that. I think putting off the effective date has effectively done that. I am committed to...First of all, we have to set out a process on how we are going to review these, and I expect I will be coming back to the Standing Committee on Social Programs on that and I am open to making sure that the review is full and comprehensive. I don’t want to put anything on the table or off the table. As it is now, until that policy has changed, the policy intent is there but it’s just not effective until it becomes effective and the date right now is September 1st . I just want to reiterate that I am

open to full review and we will make whatever changes are necessary upon that review, but I don’t want to predetermine the outcome of that review. Thank you.
