Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation. It is regarding the harmonization of housing and income support.
I still have a lot of concern with regard to the harmonization, especially for elders. A lot of the elders we are talking about who are now in housing units have either retired or built up a pension. They have worked 20 or 30 years, in most cases all their lives, to finally enjoy their retirement, and now we have a program where the biggest effect that I see, looking at the drafts we have, will be the increases that will affect the seniors. I really have a problem where these people have a fixed income, they have worked for their pensions, and now as a government here again we are clawing back revenues that our seniors should be enjoying.
I would like to ask the Minister exactly, between now and the review that is going to take place until October, will he do a thorough review with the focus on those seniors who have either given up their houses to move into low-income housing units that this government has, because they were told that they were going to get a better deal if they moved into the housing unit rather than trying to maintain their own unit?
