Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It starts off with the very low end. The minute you go to work and you make any money, you automatically pay 25 per cent of your gross income. Even if you made $400, you would have to pay 25 per cent of that for rent.

Under the new scale, it starts off at six per cent and it gradually increases. The more money you make, the higher the percentage. It will never go higher than a maximum of 30 per cent of your gross income. Built into that, if you are going to be taking training or going to school, that part is not being assessed. It is the same if you are on a disability pension, social assistance or any type of pension, you will not be assessed. As well if you were on UIC, you would not be assessed, but I will have to double check that.

Also there is a cost of living adjustment. For different communities, there is a different cost of living. The more children you have who are dependent on you, there is that adjustment as well. There is also an adjustment for the condition rating of the unit. Thank you.
