I thank Mr. Meldrum and Mr. Murphy for coming before the committee, as they have enlightened some of our members. Perhaps they will have the opportunity to speak to the Joint Committee on Health and Children, particularly on the issue of regulations, which is very important. We did a report, related to the area of social protection, about people who work for maybe only ten hours but cannot get social welfare because of that. Many people do part-time work before picking their kids up from school, so there are opportunities in that regard. The social welfare system does not benefit from that.
