Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question.
As the hon. member will recall, on January 31 of this year the Minister of Human Resources Development outlined a three stage process of consultation that would culminate with the establishment of a new social security act for this country. During this time we will be listening to Canadians from coast to coast to coast to bring about the type of positive change that Canadians called for on October 25.
Of course one of the ideas that we will be examining will be a minimum income as perhaps presented by the Newfoundland economic recovery commission report.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all members of Parliament to participate in this important initiative by this government.
