Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions here. I raised it in my opening comments but I want to ask the Minister, and it goes to supplementary health benefits for what we, unfortunately, call the working poor. Those people who are working who do not have their own supplementary health coverage either through their work or they can’t afford to buy it. They’re not indigent. They are working and they wish to continue to work. I’d like to know from the Minister if there are any plans anywhere in this next fiscal year to look at providing supplementary health benefits for this small group of residents. Although they may be small, it’s a gap within our system that has existed for a very long time and needs to be fixed.
