Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services and it's in relation to personal care facilities for seniors. I have had several calls from concerned seniors that the rent at the Aven senior citizens' home is going up to $712 a month. It had always been my impression that people would be able to maintain a minimum of $200 a month from their pensions. Can the Minister verify whether this is true or not? Will seniors be able to maintain a minimum of $200 from their pension funds while living in these personal care facilities?
