I thank the member for his question and for his interest in what is a very important program. I think every single member of this House understands how important it is for any government to support families and particularly to support those families who are struggling—struggling because one member of the family is out of work, struggling because a child is ill or struggling for any other reason. We certainly do want to make sure that the stronger families program is working effectively and we will make sure we do that.
