Given the situation that we find ourselves in, I can appreciate the government's desires to generate revenue. On the other hand, there are certain benefits and privileges that are attained on becoming a senior and they are clawing some of these back. I would like to ask the Minister if he would direct his department to review and reconsider the increase with the objective of returning this to the nominal fee it was and even making it a much lower amount, given the small amount seniors take home with them and the small amount of revenues that would be generated. Would his department reconsider this?
