I will shortly conclude the meeting. On behalf of the committee, Mr. Light, thank you very much for your presentation today. My apologies that some members are not here, but the work will be shared among them.

I have a question of clarification. In the list of recommendations or areas on which you want us to focus reference was made to the income trap and a temporary reduction in the number of working hours required to qualify for the family income supplement. Why are you saying "temporary" and how temporary do you mean?
