Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. The Auditor General is doing an overall review of income support, more specifically to productive choices, whether it be home care, seniors’ fuel subsidy area. That is happening over the summer or fall. By Christmas we should have a report from them. Based on that, we need to re-evaluate our programming. It is going to be happening. When it comes to seniors’ subsidy, fuel subsidy, based on household income and I did instruct my department to look at some options. That is currently being developed as we speak. Once I review that and share it with my Cabinet colleagues, then I will definitely be sharing it with the committee members. It’s been brought to our attention that we need to make those changes so there’s not much impact on the seniors themselves. I’ve already committed that I’ll be reviewing those options and bringing that forward.
