I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs take the necessary steps to ensure that a means test, similar to that used to implement the seniors' fuel subsidy, is introduced to ensure that senior citizens eligible to benefit under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief Act and who cannot afford to pay taxes, do not pay taxes as a result of ceilings that tax-based municipalities may place on the available tax relief.
