Thank you, Madam Chair. I was hoping I could also get a similar explanation for Income Assistance. I see it is increasing by $4 million from this present fiscal's revised main estimates. However, I see, if you actually go back two years, it's about the same amount. My understanding is that Income Assistance is always somewhat oversubscribed. Is this number more a correction of what the Income Assistance budget should be, or are we expecting a $4 million increase in the amount of Income Assistance due to, perhaps, the economic downturn caused by COVID-19? Can I just get some explanation for that $4 million increase? Thank you, Madam Chair.
