Thank you, Madam Chair. That's the plan. The Income Assistance program, as it is, was created years ago. There have been changes to it. There have been things that have been exempted over the last number of years, and that has actually added to the costs. There is still the issue that the Member is talking about. It's easier for people, sometimes, it makes more sense for them to stay on Income Assistance than to get a job or go get training. It could be the amount. It could also be circumstances in the community. The whole reason we are doing the review is to address those issues. Thank you.
