Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Education, Culture and Employment make permanent the policy changes made to support clients in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to continue to reduce the amount of verification information required to apply for Income Assistance to ensure clients are registered as quickly as possible and automatically assessed for both basic needs and enhanced benefits, to continue with the allowable income exemptions and to increase the annual income limit for unearned income per year on top of the money received from impact benefits agreements, treaty or land claim agreements, to continue to allow for clients to select self-care as a productive choice option, and reduce the requirement for face-to-face monthly reporting, and to continue to payroll long-term vulnerable Income Assistance clients to increase consistent payments to a three-month reporting. Thank you, Madam Chair.
