Mr. Yakeleya.

My next question is about the second part of the Minister’s statement about the market housing units that they’re going to be renting, I guess, for income security clients.

Can the Minister give me an indication, we’re transferring that to Housing, but that’s money that we used to provide to income clients? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Is committee agreed we have concluded the general comments on the bill?

Is committee agreed we’ll do the clause-by-clause review of Bill 12?

Thank you, Mr. Moses. The motion is on the floor. The motion has been distributed. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. I made a statement today on income security programs. I’d like the Minister to give us a little more detail on income… He indicated income assistance clients will receive more money for food and incidental expenses.

Can the Minister indicate what the level of increase will be and what the increases over the next four years will be? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
