Thank you, Madam Chair. I think it makes sense to break out those categories, especially just in that reporting for people who are seniors and disabilities is different. I note we already payroll them, so that makes sense. I have some concerns about the way Income Assistance works with other programs. Do we have figures of how many of our Income Assistance clients are in public housing? I know that there has been some work to make those systems work better. I still don't believe there is cohesion when someone gets an Income Assistance cheque and then it goes to public housing, or someone misses their Income Assistance appointment and gets cut off, and it affects public housing. I still don't get the sense that those systems are working seamlessly. Can the Minister speak to, A, if we know how many Income Assistance clients are in public housing, and B, any work being done to make sure that those two different departments are talking to each other? Thank you, Madam Chair.
