I thank the Minister for his response and the efforts that his department is making, although I don't believe that an annual increase in Income Assistance necessarily should have been linked to things that were happening with other governments and sorting out things at our end. I'd like to ask the Minister if he is prepared to look into the issue of indexing income assistance payments to cost of living.
