Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, doesn’t the government have an obligation to provide an act of grace payment to all those people who, like the constituent I have just mentioned, have had to resort to fixing problems themselves because the government failed to provide timely assistance when they believed that their homes were in danger? Do you believe that the government has an obligation to make such as act of grace payment?
