To the Minister, I hardly consider it fair that we’re going to penalize somebody because they happen to be proactive and they happen to have the opportunity to save a little bit of money. Because I don’t have a RRSP, my next door
neighbor has to cash it in because we both need a little bit of income support. That’s hardly fair and I think it therefore puts income support clients longer on the government dole and I really don’t think that’s where we should be going.
It seems to me that we penalize everybody in the income support programs because there are a few people that we feel either are scamming the system or they, in case, have a RRSP.
I would like to know whether or not the Minister will consider revising our policy so that the majority benefit, not the minority, and that the minority are dealt with as they should be. Thank you.
