Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her kind remarks.
I believe the programs were established and well studied at the time they were implemented. As time goes on, functions for a program change. When times are hard and jobs are lost, some of the programs tend to be referred to in a manner that did not need to be addressed when times were a little more affluent. This is what we are trying to address. The programs have been studied but we have to make sure that the abuse of the programs is addressed. When the economy is down it appears the abuses seem to go up. If we can balance both of them, our programs will satisfy both at the same time. I hope I have answered the hon. member's question.
