With regard to the senior citizens' home repair program for $200,000, I would like to ask the Minister if that is a fair allocation or are we getting more demands for senior repair programs than the numbers warrant? In the Taloyoak report, the recommendation is that we exempt senior citizens from paying rent only if they are not living in public houses. There may be senior citizens who own their own homes who have to pay extra costs because of the condition of the unit.
I hope that if you are going to recommend something about the exemption of senior citizens and elders, we also make sure there is enough money to provide the necessary repairs to housing for seniors who also might be experiencing hardship because of the conditions of their unit.
