Thank you, Mr. Chair. The same sort of thing, I’m finding a lot of constituency work related to income security clients that, because of the way we deliver the programs, we are dealing often with disadvantaged people and the bureaucratic requirements are amazingly onerous, I have to say. I would be challenged with the hoops they have to jump through in terms of repeatedly submitting the same paperwork. The examples I’m thinking of, though, if you’re not on income support for a month or two, then you have to resubmit all of the applications and papers all over again and try and meet deadlines. This, like I say, is onerous. Everything is on file already. Their birth certificates and SIN don’t change, obviously. Often clients are made to apply for employment insurance or even housing when it’s clear that they won’t get EI and they won’t get housing, that’s very clear, and yet they’re made to go through these hoops. These are extremely onerous and the system just seems so rigid that they end up losing their support for a month and that just exacerbates and it ends up, you know, the snowball rolling down the hillside and getting bigger and bigger when what we’re really trying to do is help these people get out of poverty.
By way of a question here, when was the last time the delivery of income security was reviewed and are there plans for that in the near future? Thank you.
