Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This isn't a joking matter; this is pretty serious. It is a concern that we want all residents to make sure that they make it through the winter. We're doing our part. I know that Cabinet is working on the government renewal that makes sure that we're looking at all of our programs, department by department, to make sure the programs we're providing are still applicable. That work may result in some change of programs. We know we're trying to address the issues as much as possible, like I said, with the home heating fuel is one thing.

Mr. Speaker, any resident who cannot afford a standard of living, if they can't afford to heat their homes, if they can't afford to put food on their tables and they're trying, then please visit the programs we have in place. That is the reason we have the seniors home heating subsidy; that's the reason we have income support, Mr. Speaker, is to help residents when they can't get by.

Recognizing it's all based on an income base but that's what the programs are there for. So, please, if you're suffering, please reach out to the supports we have in place. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
