We are delving deeper into the broader implications of means testing in the social welfare system. The committee is embarking on a module focused on this subject. We are especially keen on examining how means testing aids in directing social assistance payments and shaping the system's operations.

I again welcome Mr. Egan, Mr. Flynn and Ms Hardiman and invite Mr. Egan to make his opening statement for this session of the meeting.
