So it's still ongoing. That's good.
When you've come here in the past, we've also discussed issues surrounding the Canada child benefit. It's a great program. I'm very supportive of it, but we've talked often about families on social assistance and the children who were in the care of the stateāin the child welfare system. I've also advocated that children who are in the welfare system should receive this benefit. It shouldn't be taken or clawed back by a province. I've talked about this privately as well, about trying to make sure the province doesn't do that.
Apparently the Province of Manitoba is still clawing back this fund from these kids. Many provinces will take these funds for child welfare children and place the funds in a trust so that when they age out of the system, our most vulnerable citizens will then have the ability to perhaps have something that they can use to become successful.
I was hoping to get your support to talk to Manitoba to make sure that they don't claw this back anymore. I think it perhaps might contravene federal legislation, but it certainly contravenes our moral values about who our most vulnerable citizens are.
