Over 200 people attended four public meetings to tackle the 'outdated' pensions and benefits system.
That was the contented message from Minister for Treasury Eddie Teare - who says the public made a valuable contribution to how government will frame the public consultation.
Last year, Ci65 Ltd. put forward a damning report on social security - calling for a "bold transformation" to meet the needs of Manx residents.
Meetings took place this week in Douglas, Ramsey, Port Erin and Peel - when attendees voiced their opinions.
Mr Teare tells us what kind of effect they have had:
VE day marked with silence tomorrow
Council to elect new leader
Appeal to put sheep back behind baas
Tynwald set to honour two Manx women
Manx Utilities looking for water meter supplier
Government wants news DEFA head for up to £110k a year
Rugby club wants better facilities
Former chief minister becomes chair of Castletown commissioners
