Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I beg to differ with the Minister because I have spent many visits to the elders' centre in my community and I know, from seeing first-hand that there are hardships. For example, if the fee is $720 a month and the elder gets $900 a month through his Old Age Pension, that does not leave a lot of money. My question would be, the Minister indicated that they have a service where they off-set to ensure that there are not any hardships. What formula do they use to make sure that elders do not find themselves in a situation where they have no money to buy, whether it be tobacco or personal supplies and so on? Thank you.
