Mr. Speaker, a bit of history might be useful here.
In 1990 the Conservative government introduced legislation which cut off widows after one year after their husbands died. In the last session, this government improved that program so that now those widows have the program for the rest of their lifetime. We clearly made a substantial improvement over what had previously been done which benefited 10,000 widows.
My department is looking into other groups which might wish to have access to this program.
